Easy ‘’French Crêpes’’ Recipe

Ingredients you will need:1 cup (about 140 grams) all purpose flour, ¼  teaspoon salt,3 tablespoons (35 grams approximately) granulated white sugar,2 large eggs, 1 ¼  cup (300 ml) milk (room temperature), 2 ½  teaspoon pure vanilla extract,2 tablespoons (30 grams) melted butter (room temperature).

Method:In a large bowl whisk the flour with the sugar and salt. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and then gradually pour in the egg mixture, whisking it until combined and smooth. Strain the batter if necessary to remove any lumps. (The batter should normally have the consistency of light cream.) Cover and let sit at room temperature about 20 minutes.

Now heat a non stick pan over medium heat, lightly butter the pan. (Butter has a nicer flavor than oil and it helps in making the crepes more brown, nevertheless you can use oil if you want). Lift the pan from the heat and, using a laddle of the batter, pour into the center of the hot pan. Tilt and swirl the pan so the batter forms an even layer .Cook until the edges of the Crêpes start to curl and the top looks almost dry (about 1- minute). (Use a spatula to flip the crepe)...The bottom of the Crêpe will have a golden brown lacey pattern. Moreover flip the Crêpe and continue to cook for about 30 seconds or until you have brown spots over the surface. Remove from heat and place on a plate. Continue to cook until all the batter is finished and stack the Crêpes. 
Voilà! You can have them with delicious Nutella, speculoos spread, whipped cream, jam, sugar or with any fruits you want.
