Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1⅓ cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoon melted butter, cooled
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Method

1. Combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and slightly cooled melted butter in a large mixing bowl. If you want a sweet crepe add the sugar and vanilla, otherwise leave it out.

2. Whisk mixture well.

3. Heat a 20cm frypan to medium, and grease lightly with butter.

4. Pour ½ cup of crepe batter into the pan and tilt so the batter covers the pan in a thin layer. Cook until the edges start to lightly brown and then flip and cook for a few more seconds.

5. Serve with your topping of choice.
