Crepes With Honey Drizzle (Print Version)
Delicate thin crepes served warm with luscious golden honey drizzle—ideal for breakfast or dessert.
# Recipe Ingredients:
→ For the Crepe Batter
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 1/4 cups milk
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
→ For Serving
08 - 1/4 cup honey
09 - Fresh berries (optional)
10 - Powdered sugar (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract if using.
03 - Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
04 - Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes to ensure tender crêpes (or up to 1 hour if time allows).
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the surface thinly and evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges gently lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip and cook 30 seconds more.
07 - Transfer to a plate, keep warm, and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter if needed.
08 - Stack crepes, drizzle generously with honey, and garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
