Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • If time permits, chill the crepe batter in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 1 day.

Once the pan is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter into the hot pan, swirling it around the pan as you pour to form a large, thin pancakes.
