Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat.

Pro tip: A hot skillet helps the crêpe puff up properly.

Prepare the Batter

In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let it rest for a few minutes.

Pro tip: A smooth batter ensures an even rise.

Melt the Butter

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling it to coat the entire surface.

Pro tip: Be cautious as the skillet will be very hot.

Pour the Batter

Pour the batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter and immediately return it to the oven.

Pro tip: Act quickly to maintain the skillet's temperature.

Bake the Crêpe

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden brown.

Pro tip: Avoid opening the oven door to prevent the soufflé from collapsing.

Prepare the Blueberry Topping

While the crêpe is baking, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries start to release their juices, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Serve

Remove the crêpe from the oven, top with the blueberry sauce, and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Dust with icing sugar for a nice finish.
