Ingredients

Method

  1. Whisk the batter

    Step 1: Whisk the batter

    Whisk the flour, egg, milk, half the sugar and the vanilla into a completely smooth, thin batter.

  2. Rest it

    Step 2: Rest it

    Let the batter rest for 15 minutes so the crêpes turn out tender, not rubbery.

  3. Swirl the first crêpe

    Step 3: Swirl the first crêpe

    Melt a little butter in a hot frying pan over medium-high heat, pour in a small ladle of batter and immediately swirl the pan so the batter coats the base paper-thin.

  4. Flip once

    Step 4: Flip once

    Cook until the edges turn lacy and golden, then flip and give it 20 seconds more.

  5. Stack the rest

    Step 5: Stack the rest

    Repeat with the remaining batter, buttering the pan lightly between crêpes and stacking them as you go.

  6. Sugar and fold

    Step 6: Sugar and fold

    Sprinkle with the remaining sugar, fold into triangles and serve warm.
