# What You Need:

→ Crepes Batter

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 1/4 cups milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Serving

08 - 1/4 cup honey
09 - fresh berries
10 - powdered sugar

# How to Make:

01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
02 - Beat eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Stir in melted butter until fully incorporated.
04 - Let batter rest for at least 15 minutes to allow flour to hydrate, ensuring tender crepes. Can rest up to 1 hour for best results.
05 - Heat nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter.
06 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter into pan, immediately swirling to coat bottom thinly and evenly. Cook 1-2 minutes until edges lift and underside is golden.
07 - Flip crepe and cook additional 30 seconds until set. Transfer to warm plate.
08 - Continue with remaining batter, brushing pan with butter as needed between crepes. Stack cooked crepes to keep warm.
09 - Drizzle honey generously over stacked crepes. Garnish with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
