Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste until well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thin batter. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the peach compote: in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with melted butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Flip the crêpe carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- To serve, spoon warm peach compote down the center of each crêpe, fold or roll, and optionally dust with powdered sugar.
Tips
- Rest the crêpe batter for 10 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour and improve texture.
- Use a split vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste for the best vanilla flavor that complements the fresh peaches.
