Bright and sunny days, clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, beautiful flowers and fruit filled crêpes; what a wonderful way to spend those last days of summer vacation! These crêpes are truly the cherry on top to any vacation. If you're looking to surprise your family with a wonderful refreshing breakfast on the terrace I must say, crêpes is the way to go! Now, I'm not one for waking up early to make complicated breakfasts, but when it came to these crêpes I figured that waking up fifteen minutes earlier to make them was no big deal. The thing I love about these crêpes is that they truly are light and soft, nothing like those crêpes you buy off of the trolleys on the streets of Paris and trust me I have had my fair share of "French crêpes". These crêpes are also really versatile, you can fill them up with any type of fruit that you encounter on your vacation! I mostly filled mine up with mango slices as it is very easy to buy them on the island. Well, I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you're interested to see pictures from my wonderful vacation to the island then make sure to check back in a few days! P.s the name of the "island" will be revealed soon!

Ingredients2 cups cake flour, sifted
3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 cups milk
4 eggs
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (orange, almond...) extract
Ready, set, bake!
In a blender, mix the flour and sugar until combined. Pour in the milk, then the eggs one by one, beating after each addition until you obtain a smooth consistency. Beat in the melted butter and vanilla extract until combined.
Turn your stove on to medium heat or 4 and preheat a 9-in. nonstick skillet. Pour about a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet spreading it evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Flip the crêpe over once the edges have started curl up, cook both sides until golden brown. Serve with fruit, a chocolate-y spread and whipped cream or with lemon juice and confectioner's sugar!
