Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract with 1.5 cups of milk. Whisk in the 3 egg yolks until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1.5 cups of whole-grain wheat flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a small saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly but don't let it solidify.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the wet mixture while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Slowly add the melted butter to the batter, whisking gently until fully combined and smooth. The batter should have a thin, pourable consistency.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and the flavors to meld.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden on the other side.
- Remove the cooked crepe and place it on a plate. Repeat steps for the remaining batter, stacking crepes on top of each other to stay warm.
- Serve the vanilla-infused whole-grain crepes warm, topped with your favorite fruits, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or any other preferred toppings.
Tips:
- Ensure the batter is well-mixed and smooth to avoid lumps in your crepes. Sifting the whole-grain flour before mixing can help achieve a smoother batter.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax and results in a more tender crepe.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned crepe pan to cook the crepes. Grease the pan lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the center of the hot pan and immediately swirl to spread it out evenly. This ensures a thin and uniform crepe.
- Keep the heat medium to low. High heat can quickly burn the crepes or cause them to cook unevenly.
- If the crepes are not getting the desired light brown spots, slightly increase the heat but keep a close eye to avoid overcooking.
- Stack cooked crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent them from sticking together if you are making multiple batches.
With their delightful vanilla aroma and whole-grain goodness, these crepes offer a nutritious yet delicious start to your day. Serve them with your favorite fillings and toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy a breakfast that satiates both your taste buds and your nutritional needs.
