Ingredients

2 ¼ cups milk
2 cups flour
4 eggs
¼ cup butter melted
2 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Place batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days to allow the batter to rest (or the crepes will be rubbery).
After batter has had time to rest, heat a frying pan (or crepe maker) over high heat. Melt a half tablespoon of butter in the frying pan. Using a ¼ cup, scoop batter and pour onto hot frying pan, twisting the pan while pouring the batter onto it. The batter should cover the bottom of the pan. Cook the crepe until bubbles start to appear and the edges look dry (about 30 seconds to a minute).
With a spatula, gently ease up each of the sides of the crepe, slowly working your way to the middle and then flip. Wait another 30 seconds to thoroughly cook the other side, then remove from heat. Continue until all of the batter has been used. If batter starts to stick to frying pan, melt more butter in half tablespoon increments.
To serve, spread filling onto half of the crepe, fold the crepe into fourths and top with berries, powdered sugar, etc.

Notes

Crepes can be served with a variety of different toppings. Berries, bananas, Nutella, peanut butter, whipped cream, powdered sugar, what ever your heart desires.
To store cooked crepes, place a layer of parchment paper or waxed paper between each crepe to prevent them from sticking. Wrap the stack of crepes in aluminum foil. Crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just warm crepes in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy!
