Crepes

October 24, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Crepes are probably my two sons favourite breakfast, after school snack or suppertime treat. In fact I think they would eat them just about any time. Their favourite toppings include nutella (of course) and lemon and sugar – both traditional powerhouses in the world of crepe toppings. I also recommend bananas, strawberries, raspberries or just about any fruit you love, honey, maple syrup. They are also delicious with savoury toppings like ham or cheese.

The French often use a slightly different batter for savoury crepes (called a galette) but I just use the same batter for both.

On Sunday mornings we don’t have any football matches to rush to and so we always have a warm sweet breakfast treat usually served with hot chocolate and flat whites.

The batter is incredibly simple to make, just 3 ingredients – flour, eggs and milk.

I recommend using a non-stick pan or specialist crepe maker and a crepe spreader. The spreader is great at moving the batter over the whole pan and spreading the batter evenly. The benefit of the specialist crepe maker is the thin lip which makes it easier to spread the crepe and adjustable temperatures for faster cooking of the crepe.

Remember pancakes aren’t just for pancake Tuesday!
