- Spread with about a tablespoon of butter, let it melt, then sprinkle with sugar.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter crepe, consider using half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. If you want to add flavor, vanilla extract or lemon zest can enhance the batter. Ensure the skillet is well-heated before pouring the batter, and use a non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking for perfect crepes.
Serving Suggestions
These crepes can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings, such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate spread. For a delightful breakfast, serve with a side of Apple Smiles. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup can enhance the sweetness, making them irresistible.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover crepes can be stacked with parchment paper in between and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat for a minute on each side, or microwave briefly until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator in a covered container. Give it a good whisk before using, as the ingredients may settle.
How do I know when the crepe is ready to flip?
You'll know the crepe is ready to flip when the edges start to curl and the surface looks set and slightly dry. A light golden color indicates it's cooked enough to flip without tearing.
Can I freeze the crepes?
Absolutely! Stack the crepes with parchment paper between each one and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating in a skillet.
