Directions
Simply add your ingredients into a blender in the following order: milk, water, sugar, vanilla, and flour. In a small bowl, crack the eggs to ensure shells are not in your food!

Add the eggs to the blender and turn it on. Allow your ingredients to blend until a smooth consistency is reached. For best results, allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.

When ready to cook crepes, allow the skillet to warm over medium heat. Measure ¼ cup and pour into the warmed skillet. After the crepe has slightly bubbled and has slightly started to come away from the pan (i.e.—it’s no longer stuck to the bottom of the pan), flip and let the other side cook for 20-30 seconds. Continue to process for 7 more crepes & enjoy!
