Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
   • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes (optional but enhances flavor and texture).
2. Cook the crepes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
   • Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread evenly.
   • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
   • Transfer to a plate and keep warm under a towel. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
3. Serve with a winter twist:
   • Fill the crepes with warm spiced apple compote or caramelized pears.
   • Top with cinnamon whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a snow-kissed look.
   • Add chopped nuts for texture and serve with a festive drink.
   • Add winter-themed fruits.
