Crepes With Honey Drizzle (Printable)
Delicate thin crepes served warm with golden honey drizzle. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
# What You’ll Need:
→ 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)
# How-To Steps:
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 until fully incorporated.
04 - Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes to ensure tender crêpes, or up to 1 hour if time allows for optimal texture.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter to coat the surface.
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. Stack crepes, drizzle generously with honey, and garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
