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
- Whisk the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack in 2 large eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 1/4 cups eggnog, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until combined thoroughly.
- 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.
- Rest the batter: Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to improve texture and consistency.
- Heat the pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
