Instructions

Add the flour, eggs, whole milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, fine sea salt, the scraped seeds of 1 vanilla bean, and fresh orange zest to a blender.
Blend on medium speed until the batter is smooth and light, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend briefly again.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the skillet.
Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the skillet and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with a thin layer.
Cook until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer cooked crêpes to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering pan as needed.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and scraped vanilla bean seeds until soft peaks form; chill the vanilla citrus cream for about 20 minutes.
Serve crêpes filled with a spoonful of the chilled vanilla citrus cream, folding or rolling as desired.
Optionally garnish with additional orange zest or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips

Use fresh vanilla bean seeds in both batter and cream to layer the vanilla flavor beautifully.
Make sure the skillet is hot enough but not smoking for even, thin crêpes that cook quickly without tearing.
