Easy-to-prepare Crepes; Beginner Friendly!
Is it just me, or do crepes seem super fancy? Fancy food is usually associated with hard, tedious, and time consuming.
Well fancy food just got a whole new definition. These crepes, honestly, couldn’t be easier! Kid’s love them, too!
The crepes work well with both sweet and savory fillings. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, powdered sugar.. you bet!! On the flip side eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes, country gravy are all to die for too!
I really don’t know which I would choose, savory or sweet. I usually have a couple savory ones and then a sweet crepe for dessert.
How To Make Pancake Mix Crepes
Crepes are made from an extremely thin batter. The batter consists of pancake mix (I used Krusteaz), milk, an egg, and vanilla. Whisk until there are no lumps left.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium high heat until hot. The size of your pan will be the size of your finished crepes, so keep that in mind!
Once the frying pan is HOT spray with non stick cooking spray. The next two steps need to be done as fast as possible.
Pour a small amount of batter (I used 1/8 of a cup of batter for my small frying pan) in the middle of the hot pan. Then pick up the pan and tip and twirl it until the entire bottom is coated.
Set back onto the stove top and let it cook until the edges start to peel away from pan. At that point, carefully transfer the crepe to a plate and then repeat!!
Tips for the Perfect Crepes
The first crepe is always a dud. I don’t know why, but the first one never comes out quite right. Don’t give up!
Make sure to spray the pan with non-stick spray in between each and every crepe!
Keep the crepes warm in the oven until ready to serve.
