I first started making crepes back in high school for French class. I was hooked on these thin pancakes but forgot about them until I encountered my mother in law’s recipe years later. Now my husband and I enjoy them a lot more frequently! Just cant get enough of these.
Crepes are quick and easy to make. It is important to keep a close eye on them while cooking as they are thin and will cook quickly. Be sure to only use a quarter cup of the mixture per crepe.
Crepes are a quick & easy breakfast recipe
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp oil
1/4 tsp salt
Mix all together with whisk in a medium bowl. Use 1/4 cup of mixture per crepe.
Heat a small saute pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with melted butter. Spread crepe mixture evenly over the pan in a thin layer. Cook until light brown, about 1 minute. Gently flip over & continue cooking another minute.
Transfer to plate.
Fill with jam, chocolate sauce, nutella, fresh bananas, canned peaches, etc
Basic Crepe Recipe
Delicious crepes. I love the endless possibilities of filling you can put in them. Yum!!
Thank you! I love them too! Quick & easy & the fillings are endless!
oooh, i like this short list of ingredients. i should give it a try during my staycation.
I LOVE crepes – they are so versatile! Savory OR sweet fillings! You can’t go wrong! Your crepes look perfect!
I’ve been meaning to make crepes too, but the last time I tried, it turned out to be scrambled crepes, lol. So I’m a bit hesitant….yours look perfect!
@Bagnatic- oh yeah it’s really quick & easy, just remember to keep that pan moving cuz it can burn quick
@Teanna- Aw thank you! I love your pics too! I do love how you can put just about anything in a crepe
@sophia- thanks for the kind words! Just take your time & use a non stick pan, the key is to move quickly but don’t rush if that makes sense. I tend to rush when I make omelets and they end up like scrambled eggs!
I love making crepes, I enjoy making them more than pancakes. And the endless possibilities with filings, I even use them for my Lumpiang Sariwa.
You know, I think I’ll try to make Lumpiang Sariwa with these crepes too. Like you say, the possibilities are endless :)
