Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour and salt; set aside.
  • In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  • Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking until completely smooth and no lumps appear.
  • Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Lightly grease a 10-inch nonstick frying pan, or a crepe pan, with cooking spray and set the pan over medium heat.
  • Add 1/4-cup batter to the heated pan and swirl to completely cover the bottom of pan.
  • Cook for 1-½ to 2 minutes, or until edges of crepe start to curl up and the bottom of the crepe is a light golden brown.
  • Flip the crepe and continue to cook for 1 more minute, or until lightly browned.
  • Remove crepe from skillet; transfer to a plate and keep covered while working with the remaining batter.
  • Continue working with the remaining batter, wiping down the pan with a paper towel AND coating with cooking spray in between each crepe.

Notes

  • Wipe down the pan with a paper towel AND coat with cooking spray in between each crepe.
  • Whole milk is best, but if you want, you can also use 2% or even skim milk.
