Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and sugar.
- Blend thoroughly until smooth.
- Heat a medium hot grill and spread the batter thinly, cooking until golden brown.
- Roll up the crepes, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with honey or cheese.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother batter, blend the ingredients in a blender instead of mixing by hand. If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. You can also experiment with different fillings like Nutella or fresh fruits for variety. Ensure the pan is sufficiently heated before adding the batter to achieve a golden-brown color.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the crepes warm, drizzled with honey or dusted with powdered sugar. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad, such as a Farmer'S Market Salad. For a savory twist, fill them with cheese and chopped parsley before rolling. Enjoy them as a delightful breakfast or dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or microwave them for about 15-20 seconds. Avoid overheating to maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using, as the ingredients may separate during storage.
What kind of cheese works best for the filling?
Feta cheese is a popular choice for a savory filling, as it adds a nice tang. However, you can also use mozzarella or ricotta for a creamier texture, depending on your preference.
Can I freeze the crepes for later use?
Absolutely! To freeze, place parchment paper between each crepe and store them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
