Mr. Panface Crepes
Ingredients
For the Crepe Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking and Presentation
- 1 tablespoon butter, as needed, for cooking

- 1 wooden spatula, for Mr. Panface animation
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the large eggs. Gradually add the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter will be thin. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flour to fully hydrate, which helps prevent tearing.

Heat a 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon), wiping off any excess with a paper towel. The pan should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles instantly.

Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the center of the hot pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and lift, and the surface appears set and lightly bubbly.
⏱️ 10 min

Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the second side, until lightly golden. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with butter between each crepe if needed.

To create Mr. Panface: Place a freshly cooked crepe back into the pan. Position two edible googly eyes on the crepe. Gently fold a section of the crepe to create a 'mouth'. Slide a wooden spatula (like one from MrPanface.com!) underneath the folded section to simulate a moving mouth. Playfully move the spatula up and down to animate Mr. Panface before serving.
