Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 1 large Duck Egg (room temperature; can substitute chicken egg)
- 1 cup Milk (whole milk preferred; can use 2% or plant milk)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (artificial or pure; use real if available)
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest (zest of one organic lemon, washed thoroughly)

Instructions
Gather Ingredients
Measure 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 duck egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Have a squeeze bottle ready for the batter.
Time: PT2M
Combine Dry Ingredients
Place the flour and salt in the mixing bowl and whisk briefly to aerate.
Time: PT1M
Add Wet Ingredients
Crack the duck egg into the bowl, pour the milk, add vanilla extract and lemon zest, then whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Time: PT5M
Rest the Batter
Let the batter sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flour fully hydrates and the flavors meld.
Time: PT10M
Preheat Crepe Pan
Place the non‑stick crepe pan over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C) and let it warm for 2 minutes.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Lightly Oil the Pan (optional)
Using a paper towel, wipe a thin layer of melted butter or oil on the pan surface; wipe off excess so the crepes stay thin.
Time: PT30S
Cook First Crepe
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the squeeze bottle, squirt it into the center of the pan and quickly swirl to coat the surface in a thin layer. Cook 1‑2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook another 30‑45 seconds.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Repeat Until Batter Is Gone
Repeat the pouring, swirling and cooking process for the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.
Time: PT6M
Temperature: Medium heat
Serve
Stack the crepes on a plate, keep warm, and serve with your favorite fillings such as jam, Nutella, fresh fruit, or savory ham and cheese.
Time: PT1M
