Grandma Knobel's Crepes

Ingredients

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup smilk
  • large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extra ct
  • tablespoon avocado oil, divided, or as needed
  • tablespoon unsalted butter, or to taste
  • tablespoon smaple syrup, or to taste
  • tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Sift flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until smooth and slightly thinner than a regular pancake batter; do not overmix the batter or it will result in tougher crepes.
  2. Heat an 8 to 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to the center of the pan.
  3. Pour about 1/2 cup batter into the dot of oil.
  4. Hold the skillet by the handle and tilt the pan around so the batter evenly coats the entire skillet; the crepe should be about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Cook until the bottom is medium brown, the top is dry, and the edges are starting to curl, about 1 minute.
  6. Flip the crepe and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 30 seconds.
  7. If each crepe takes longer than 2 minutes to cook, the batter may need to be thinner or you may need to use a higher heat.
  8. Place crepe on a plate with a dab of butter on top. Drizzle with maple syrup, roll up, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
  9. Repeat Steps 3 and 4, adding more avocado oil to the skillet as needed.

Tips

Use raspberry or strawberry jam or fresh berries in place of maple syrup, if preferred.
