Ingredients

Scale

Basic Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until well combined. Slowly add the flour, stirring gently to avoid lumps. Gradually pour in the plant-based milk while whisking continuously to form a smooth, thin batter. Mix in the vegetable oil, natural vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid fully.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking but avoid excess oil.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the hot pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the underside is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Fill and Serve: Fill the cooked crepes with your favorite sweet or savory fillings, then roll, fold, or stack and enjoy.

Notes

  • If the batter is too thick, add a little more plant-based milk to achieve the perfect pouring consistency.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping without tearing.
  • Resting the batter helps create tender crepes and reduces bubbles during cooking.
  • Maintain medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking the crepes.
  • Grease the pan lightly with a paper towel to prevent sticking without making crepes greasy.
