Classic Homemade Crêpes Recipe
We love homemade crêpes in this house. They make for a great base to both sweet and savory dishes.
I remember first learning to make crêpes in middle school French class. One year my classmate brought a crêpe maker to speed up the process, but it didn’t work too well. The crêpes were too thin and fell apart. For this recipe you don’t need anything fancy schmancy. A nonstick pan will do just as well, if not better.
I’ve definitely leveled up my French crêpes since middle school. These crêpes are soft, smooth, and buttery. They will roll perfectly and hold their formation. Crêpes can be very easy to make and with this recipe you’ll whip them up with ease. I literally throw all my ingredients into a Kitchen Aid with a whisk attachment, then mix until smooth. You can watch me do this here on my Instagram reel.

Classic Homemade French Crêpes
Ingredients
- 1 & 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract Madagascar vanilla extract works well
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a bowl or mixer with a whisk attachment.
- Mix all ingredients until smooth.
- Butter your frying pan (non-stick preferred).
- Pour one scoop of crepe batter into the pad using a ladle.
- Tilt your pan around to spread the batter evenly. The result should be thin enough to flip but not so thin it breaks apart.
- Cook until each side has small brown dots.
- Flip your crepe out of the pan and top with your favorite toppings!
bon appétit! xx Sheila Marie
