How To Make Crepes

Breakfast Crepes With Fruit

Crepes are one of my first go to meals to eat when I go out to eat breakfast. This is almost embarassing for me to admit but my guilty pleasure meal are IHOP strawberries & cream crepes. My husband and I rarely ever eat out unless we’re on the road and I can never seem to get enough of this entree when I’m away from home! Even more embarassingly, I don’t think I’d ever eaten crepes until I’d eaten these ones!

Since I’d enjoyed eating these crepes so much, that I decided to teach myself how to make them from home. I’ve always been a sucker for homecooking so if I can make it myself, I will. Making homemade crepes are a lot easier to make than original anticipated. It’s a lot like making skinny pancakes or tortillas actually. If you don’t have a problem making pancakes, you’ll have no issues cooking crepes.

Preparation

Some tools of choice for today’s recipe are pretty basic. You’ll need a regular sized skillet or frying pan like this cast iron one I purchased from Amazon. The frying pan is essential for actually cooking your crepes on the stove. If you don’t already have these, you’ll need a medium mixing bowl and whisk or an electric hand mixer for combining your ingredients. Personally, I pefer to use a whisk over a hand mixer out of simplicity. What can I say? I’m just a simple woman!

Once you’ve made sure that you have all of the above tools, you’re now ready to begin cooking!

Cooking Instructions

1.) In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar using a whisk. Once the dry ingredients are properly blended, mix in the eggs, milk, water and melted butter.

2.) Mix until the batter is thick and smooth with no lumps. Let the mixture set for about 30 minutes.

3.) Put 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in to a skillet and heat over medium. Once the oil is heated, pour 1/4 of the batter in to the skillet on an even layer. 

4.) Cook for a 2 minutes or until the batter has settled on the pan. Flip the crepe over on the other side and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed. Repeat this process until all of the crepes are cooked.

5.) Fold the crepes and on a plate and top with fruit, powdered sugar and whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
