Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the pan
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (omit for savory crepes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (omit for savory crepes)
  • Water, as needed to thin the batter (up to ⅓ cup)
Instructions
  1. Whisk the flour and salt together in a medium mixing bowl, then whisk in the milk, oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk the batter until completely blended.

  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for 1 hour.

  3. Start with a test crepe. Very lightly oil the surface of a nonstick frying pan and place it over medium heat.

  4. When the pan is hot, add ¼ to ⅓ cup of batter and quickly swirl it around until the entire bottom surface of the pan is coated and batter takes on a generally circular shape.

  5. Cook the crepe just until the edges start to pull away from the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes.

  6. Very carefully flip the crepe and cook it for 30 to 60 seconds more on the other side. Slide the crepe out of the pan and onto a plate.

  7. Adjust the batter as needed. If it seemed too thick and was difficult to swirl, whisk in a few splashes of water.

  8. Repeat the entire process until all of the batter is used up, adjusting by adding more water as needed. Lightly re-oil the pan as needed between crepes.

  9. Serve with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.

Recipe Notes
  • Practice makes perfect. I always find that as I make adjustments and get into a groove, my crepes get better. The last few of the batch tend to be the best. If you're a crepe newbie, consider doubling the batch size to account for goof-ups.
  • This recipe is meant to make 8 crepes, but if you end up adding water to the batter you might get as many as 12.
