Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth and no lumps remain. Let batter rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  3. Step 3: Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center of the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip the crepe carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds until set but not browned. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth to make a glaze.
  6. Step 6: Brush the lemon sugar glaze generously over each crepe and serve warm rolled or folded.
