Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/4 cups milk

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the French Toast Batter:

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)

• Pinch of salt

For Frying & Serving:

• Butter, for the pan

• Maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar (for serving)

Directions:

1.Make the Crepe Batter:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

2.Cook the Crepes:

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Set aside and repeat.

3.Make the French Toast Batter:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt.

4.Dip & Cook the Crepes:

• Fold each crepe into quarters or roll them up. Dip each gently into the custard mixture, coating both sides.
  Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook dipped crepes for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

5.Serve Warm:

• Plate with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes:

• You can prepare the crepes the night before and store them in the fridge, then dip and fry the next morning.

• For a dessert twist, add a bit of orange zest to the batter and serve with chocolate sauce!
