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.
