Yummy

A little too thin. Other than that, they’re tasty.

Excellent recipe. Quick and easy. Perfect for me as a college student looking for a quick bite with minimal ingredients. They were very yummy with sweet cream and peaches!

After reading the recipe, I have to say I see an issue right up front.  You NEED FAT in the batter.  Simply oiling the pan will NOT CUT IT.  1-2 TB of melted butter is called for to keep the crepe from sticking to the pan.  And about that pan, invest in a steel crepe pan, DeBuyer makes one for under 30$, you season it and keep it just for crepes.  You won’t be sorry.  Also, the liquids should be a blend of water and milk, half and half of each.  And 2 eggs, not 3.

I love this recipe. Ever since I tried this recipe my kids have begged for crepes every weekend. They don’t always look amazing but they taste great. I add a couple punches of sugar to the batter.

Simple and fast. I used almond milk instead of water and it worked well. Give it a try!
