Crepes making can be quick and easy with this 1,2,3 recipe. You can make enough for a family of 6 for breakfast or fewer and have them in the fridge or freezer for whenever you want them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • pinch of salt (optional)
  • vegetable oil
  • frying pan (I prefer cast iron skillet-no depth)

Step1
Put all ingredients in a bowl and wisk or mix with a fork until there are no more lumps. Let stand in the fridge or counter for 20-30 minutes.
Step2
Heat a frying pan. Pour a little oil in the pan and swirl the pan so that the whole bottom is coated
Pour in just enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan as you swirl the pan again. (I use 1/4 cup or less. It depends on the size of your pan.
Step3
When you check the bottom of the crepe and it is brown, flip it over with a spatula and brown the second side. Remove to a plate when done and repeat the process over and over. You may need to use oil every 4th or 5th crepe.
Step4
You may place the cooked crepes on a plate and keep in a warm oven as you make more. You may never get to this point if the group eats them as fast as you make them.
Step5
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or spread with jam. Roll the crepe as a wrap. You may wish to serve as a dessert. Fill the crepe with fresh fruit or ice cream and fold in as a semi-circle and again to form a pie shape. Sprinkle with confectioner sugar.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can make this a fun activity with family and friends by using more than one pan and making a game of the process.
  • Could be addictive. You may find meat and cheese or vegatable or any other concoction in these savory crepe.
