# What You'll Need:
→ For the Crepe Batter
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 1/4 cups milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)

06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ For Serving
08 - 1/4 cup honey
09 - Fresh berries (optional)
10 - Powdered sugar (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
04 - Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes to ensure tender crêpes. For best results, rest up to 1 hour.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with melted butter.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, immediately tilting and swirling to coat the bottom thinly and evenly.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook for 30 seconds more.
08 - Transfer cooked crêpe to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
09 - Stack crêpes on serving plates, drizzle generously with honey, and garnish with fresh berries and powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
