- Ladle or ¼-cup measuring cup

Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Make the Batter
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine:
- Eggs
- Fat-free milk
- Flour
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
Blend or whisk until completely smooth.
Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate, resulting in more tender crepes.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with zero-calorie cooking spray.
Heat over medium heat until the pan is hot but not smoking.
Step 3: Cook the Crepes
Pour about 60 ml (¼ cup) of batter into the center of the pan.
Immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden.
Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the second side for 30–60 seconds.
Step 4: Repeat
Transfer the finished crepe to a plate.
Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly spraying the pan as needed.
Stack the cooked crepes and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Step 5: Fill and Serve
Fill with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients.
Fold into quarters or roll tightly before serving.
Expert Cooking Tips & Mistakes to Avoid
- Rest the batter for softer, more flexible crepes.
- Use a nonstick pan to prevent sticking.
- Keep the layer thin by swirling the batter immediately.
- Avoid high heat, which can cook the crepes too quickly and make them brittle.
- Don’t overfill, or the crepes may tear when folded.
