Description
These Homemade Lemon Crepes are light, bright, and delicately sweet with the perfect citrus zing. Ideal for brunch, dessert, or a cozy breakfast, they’re easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy. Fill them with whipped cream, yogurt, or berries, or keep it classic with lemon and powdered sugar.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for topping
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, and salt.
2. Gradually pour in milk while whisking to create a smooth batter.
3. Stir in melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and vanilla.
4. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to spread evenly.
7. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip and cook 30 seconds more.
8. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes with parchment if desired.
9. Serve warm with powdered sugar, berries, yogurt, or honey.
Notes
Let the batter rest for best texture—it helps create tender, pliable crepes.
Use a well-heated, non-stick pan to prevent tearing.
Stack crepes with parchment between layers for easy separation and serving.
