Instructions

Prepare the batter

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Resting the batter helps to relax the gluten, making the crepes more tender.

Cook the crepes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.

Pro tip: Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Prepare the filling

In a small bowl, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.

Pro tip: Use fresh, firm blueberries for the best texture.

Fill the crepes

Place a few spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture onto each crepe and fold or roll up.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Garnish and serve

Dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Pro tip: For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Storage tips

Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a non-stick pan over low heat.
