An easy brunch? Yes. This simple crepe recipe uses only five ingredients and can be made in less than thirty minutes. This crepe recipe is a good base to add whatever flavors you want. It’s that simple. In the recipe card, I wrote that you could add vanilla, but cardamom and cinnamon are my go to’s when I want to spice it up. Fill these crepes with berries, then top with whipped cream and maple syrup for breakfast food that’s sure to please anyone.

Ingredients

Neutral flavored oil for frying
1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract, Optional
1 1/4 cups Milk
1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Sugar
6 Eggs

Method

01

In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the whip attachment, beat the eggs on medium speed for about 3 mins. Add the sugar and beat for another 5 mins. The sugar should be dissolved, and the egg mixture should be very smooth.
02

Next, switch to the paddle attachment. With the mixer speed on low, add in the flour a half cup at a time scraping down the sides of the bowl. You may not use all of the flour. It should resemble cake batter- try not to over mix.
03

Finally, slowly stir in the milk, and vanilla if using; the batter will be the consistency of thin pancake batter. Heat your frying pan to medium heat adding about a teaspoon or two of neutral-flavored oil.
04

Using a ladle, spoon a small amount (about half a ladle full) of batter into the pan; then, quickly spread the batter around by rotating the pan in a circular motion spreading the batter as thin as you can.
05

Cook for about a minute per side. When the crepe is ready to flip, the underside will be lightly golden brown and the batter will be "dry." Add a teaspoon of oil before cooking every crepe. Drain the finished crepes onto a paper towel. Enjoy with butter, cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, and maple whip!
