Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter, or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Cream Cheese Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
8 ounces whipped topping

Instructions

Beat together flour, milk, sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla until the batter is completely smooth. I use a blender and pulse until smooth.
Brush a medium size pan with olive oil. Heat the pan to medium heat. Once the pan is heated, add about 1/4-1/2 cup batter to the pan.
Using a circular hand motion, swirl the batter into a thin and even circle. A crepe spatula is helpful here if you have one.
Heat on the side for 30-40 seconds and then flip. The side will start to dry out and tiny bubbles will form. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
If you are making the cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Place 2 tablespoons of filling on the crepe. Fold or roll up the crepe and enjoy!
Serve crepes with fresh fruit, spreads, jams, or dust with powdered sugar!
