Ingredients
– **1 cup** full-fat milk
– **3/4 cup** flour
– **1** large egg
– **1 tbsp** olive oil (plus more for greasing the pan)
– **1/2 tsp** baking powder
– **1 1/2 tbsp** powdered white sugar
– **1 1/2 tsp** vanilla extract
– **1 tbsp** peanut butter (optional, to serve)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
– **Egg Handling:** Carefully break the egg into a separate bowl, ensuring no pieces of eggshell get in.
– **Mix Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and powdered sugar.
2. Create the Batter
– **Add Wet Ingredients:** Pour the milk into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
– **Whisk:** Gradually whisk all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. This should take about 2-3 minutes of steady whisking.
3. Cooking the Crepes
– **Heat the Pan:** Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.
– **Pour the Batter:** Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter into the center of the pan. Quickly rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
– **Cook:** Let the crepe cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
– **Flip the Crepe:** Carefully lift the crepe from the edges using a spatula, then flip it to cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
– **Repeat:** Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
4. Serve the Crepes
– **Topping Suggestions:** Serve the crepes hot. You can spread a thin layer of peanut butter, add fruits, drizzle with honey, or enjoy with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
– **Enjoy:** Fold or roll the crepes and savor their deliciousness!
Tips for Perfect Crepes
– **Consistent Batter:** Make sure your batter is smooth and free of lumps for the best texture.
– **Pan Temperature:** Keep the pan at a consistent medium heat to avoid burning the crepes.
– **Even Spread:** Quickly spread the batter in the pan to ensure thin, even crepes.
