You're Basically in France Crepes

A few weeks ago, Stella found a recipe for crepes and decided to give it a try. Since then, my kiddos have made approximately 100+ crepes and I'm here for it! They're easy as can be and oh-so-delicious!
Ingredients:
- 4 Becker Farms eggs
- 2 c whole milk
-
1 ¼ c all-purpose flour
-
1 TBSP sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 TBSP butter, melted
Directions:
To prepare the batter using a blender: combine all ingredients and blend on medium-speed until smooth (1-2 minutes).
Alternatively, if you do not have a regular blender: combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and blend until smooth, using either an immersion blender or a fork/whisk.
Ideally, let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (this will make for a more tender crepe).
When ready to prepare:
- Heat a large skillet on medium-heat. Add a small amount of butter and once melted, swirl around the pan.
- Pour the batter into the skillet to desired size (we normally make them around 6" to 8" in diameter). Heat for around 1-2 minutes or until edges are set and the crepe lifts easily from the pan; then flip over using a spatula and heat for another minute or so. The end result should be light yellow in color, with a thin, pliable texture.
- Once done, transfer the crepe to a plate and top as desired (we like spread on Nutella and add raspberries or other thinly-sliced fruit such as bananas or strawberries). Then, either roll -or- fold into quarters, whichever you prefer. Other toppings could include: maple syrup, whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, jam, etc.
Store batter in an air-tight container in the refrigerator; use within about 5 days.
