Ingredients
1 cup eggnog
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Whipped cream or fresh berries, for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
2. Gradually sift in the flour while whisking to prevent lumps.
3. Stir in the melted butter until smooth.
4. Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly.
7. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
8. Stack cooked crêpes and cover lightly to keep warm.
9. Serve with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or berries as desired.
Notes
Letting the batter rest ensures tender crêpes and better texture.
Adjust sweetness based on your eggnog—store-bought versions vary.
Use a non-stick skillet for best results if you don’t have a crêpe pan.
