  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 crêpes

Ingredients

Crêpe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack in 2 large eggs and whisk until smooth.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 1/4 cups eggnog, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until combined thoroughly.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp salt. Whisk the batter until smooth and thin like heavy cream.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to improve texture and consistency.
  5. Heat the pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the crêpes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately swirl to spread into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  7. Stack and serve: Transfer finished crêpes to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. Stack the crêpes and add optional toppings like powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or maple syrup before serving.

Notes

  • Resting the batter is key to ensuring delicate, tender crêpes with a smooth texture.
  • Use a nonstick skillet and lightly grease it to prevent ripping and sticking.
  • Stack crêpes with parchment paper between them if storing to avoid sticking together.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a damp paper towel to maintain softness.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on your preference and seasonal availability.
