Easy Homemade Crepes
I absolutely adore making crepes and I’ve been making them since I was 10 years old! They are so versatile and can be filled with just about anything. It’s a dessert I grew up with. Crepes or “clatite” as we call them, were our Sunday dessert that my mom, my sister and I would make together.
Easy & Delicious Uses pantry/kitchen staple ingredients Versatile, can be sweet or savory! Can be served for breakfast, brunch or dessert!
Don’t shy away from making crepes. They are incredibly easy to make, and the best part is that you can fill them with anything you like! To this day I still make these at least a couple times a month and trust me, it will get easier as you do this more and more.
What Are Crepes?
A crepe is a type of a very thin pancake. Crepes are very popular throughout Europe, especially France. They can be made either savory or sweet, but no matter which way you make them, they are simply delicious!
Ingredient Notes
Please note that the ingredients shown in the picture above are doubled, as I always double the recipe and make a big batch.
Flour – All purpose flour works best. Sugar – Plain granulated does the trick! Eggs – I used large eggs for this recipe. Vanilla – Without vanilla, our crepes may taste a little flat. Salt – Salt is imperative to balance the flavors, don’t skip it! Milk – Use your preference! I make these quite often with lactose free milk and they turn out just as great. Butter – Unsalted, melted. Oil for Frying – Vegetable or Canola oil will work, even cooking spray.
How to Make Crepes
Note: You could use a crepe pan. I’ve only recently started using a crepe pan because my hubby bought me one. Up until now I’ve just been using a regular frying pan!
Tips
Storing
Place your cooked, cooled crepes in a stack on a plate, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. They will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing
Alternatively, you can make these in advance and freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw crepes in the refrigerator and reheat in a microwave until heated through.
