Blog 11 - How to Make Crepes

My Mom’s Famous Crepe Recipe

Here is a simple but delicious crepe recipe that can be made in minutes which your family friends will love! It’s made from ingredients that you will always have on hand.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
¼ cup of sugar
1 ½ cups of milk
1 cup of flour
Teaspoon of butter (just melted not boiling)
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step 1:

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs and the flour. Gradually add in milk and sugar. Add the melting butter when all ingredients are mixed together. To make the crepes extra delicious add vanilla extract.

Step 2:

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over a medium heat. Spray on nonstick cooking spray so the crepes will not stick to the pan.

Step 3:

Ladle about 1/3 cup of batter onto the center of the crepe pan. If using too much will result in thick crepes, and you want them to be thin.

Step 4:

Swirl the pan in a circular motion so the batter will fully coat the bottom of the pan. Can add a bit of extra batter if you need too.

Step 5:

Cook until underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to lift the crepe gently. It should have a fine lace pattern developing on the other side.

Step 6:

Once ready on the other side flip once more for about 20-30 seconds. Straighten out folds and wrinkles to ensure it will cook evenly. Slide the crepe out of the pan and repeat with remaining batter.

Step 7:

Serve the crepes with fresh fruit, syrup and whip cream.



Easier to make than you think, so give it a try!
