Instructions

Combine the flour and icing sugar in a bowl.
Stir in the milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Whisk well to make a smooth, lump-free batter. Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan and grease it with a small amount of oil. Use a pastry brush to spread it evenly.
Pour a ladle full of batter in the center of the pan and quickly swirl it around the pan, so it spreads evenly all over the surface.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, carefully flip it over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Repeat with the rest of the batter, greasing the pan as you go.
Spread some strawberry chia jam on the crepes and fold them over. Dust with icing sugar and drizzle over some Nutella or chocolate sauce if you like.
Serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

The trick to good crepe batter is to use ingredients above room temperature, not cold. The coconut oil should be melted and slightly warm. The milk is just a tad bit over room temperature, not hot.

The crepes have a nicer texture when the batter has rested. You can make the batter up to a day in advance. Give it a good stir before using.

As much as I love my cast iron, personally, I feel the non-stick is the best choice for making crepes. It allows amazing control over the amount of oil you use. So, you don’t end up with greasy and clumpy stacks but paper-thin delicate crepes.
