Crepe Recipe Tips!

  • You can make the batter the day before, making breakfast time a cinch!
  • This recipe feeds about 4 people, so if you have a larger crowd you may want to double, or even triple the recipe!
  • Crepes can be eaten as they come off the pan, or you can stack them in between sheets of wax paper until the batter is gone, and you are ready to eat.  You can even freeze them at this point.

Crepes Fillings:

  • You can use all kinds of fruits and fillings for your crepes!  Here are some ideas that we love!
      • Berries!  Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
      • Bananas
      • Yogurt
      • Custard
      • Whipping Cream
      • Syrup or honey
      • Nutella
      • Cinnamon & Sugar

My favourite crepes are filled with vanilla yogurt and bananas, then topped with whipping cream, honey and cinnamon! Yum-lish!

    I love crepes! I’ve made them lots of times. The first time I made them, I wondered why I was soo scared to make them before.
