Cooking Instructions

 

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
2. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
3. Heat a lightly buttered nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and immediately swirl the pan to create a thin, even layer.
5. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
6. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
9. Brush each warm crepe lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Fold or roll the crepes.
10. Serve warm with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey if desired.

Notes

Letting the batter rest helps produce softer, more tender crepes.
Keep the batter thin enough to spread easily across the skillet.
Use a nonstick skillet for easier flipping.
Add sliced bananas, apples, strawberries, or chopped nuts for different variations.
