Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Extra butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1. Combine eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate overnight).
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to spread into a thin layer.
5. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden.
6. Flip and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds.
7. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
8. Serve with lemon curd, sweet ricotta, berries, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Use a good-quality non-stick skillet or a dedicated crepe pan for best results.
Resting the batter is key for smooth, elastic crepes that cook evenly.
