Crepes

My family LOVES these crepes, or “roll up pancakes” as we like to call them. This recipe makes a thin crepe that is very simple to make. I usually butter them straight out of the pan and sprinkle on some powdered sugar and then roll them up. My boys would eat them dipped in syrup when they were little. YUM!!

I also have a creme filled crepe recipe here.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ c. flour
1 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 c. warm milk
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp melted butter


Instructions

Mix all ingredients together. Pour a small amount on a hot skillet and swirl it around to thin it out. Cook until nearly golden and then flip over and cook for 20-30 seconds more. We like to brush with melted butter and a sprinkle of powdered sugar and roll up.  My boys like to dip them in syrup!

    Hi Memória! I store the coconut syrup in the fridge for a couple of weeks. We usually go through it pretty quickly, though, because I like it on all our breakfasts – be it waffles, pancakes, crepes, ebleskivers, etc. 🙂

    and Hi Leslie!
    As for fillings, there have been times that I've loaded up the table with all kinds of things, like nutella, yogurt, strawberries, whipped cream, etc, but it always comes down to the same thing – I just love my coconut syrup! So I usually just drizzle some syrup in the middle of it, roll it up, and then drizzle some one top. That's how I like them best.

    My boys beg for these too! We always butter them hot off the pan and then sprinkle the inside with powdered sugar–roll up and serve with maple syrup or starwberry jam. (oh and I my favorite it raspberry butter–I will have to post my recipe for that–mmm) When you have 5 boys you have to make a lot and it takes a LONG time to make them one at a time. So, we rarely have these anymore–except on birthdays when they are requested:)

    a crepe with coconut syrup sounds like my idea of a good time 🙂

    What did you fill them with (Bad Endglish I know)? I wonder what fillings would go well with coconut syrup.

    Vanilla makes a great addition to sweet crepes. I recently added some vanilla bean paste — that works well, too. Yours look yummy!

    These crêpes (with a circumflex over the "e" haha) look fabulous!! I looked over the coconut syrup and bookmarked the recipe. How long can you store it?

    I love crepes but always have a hard time making them look decent in my pan. They always fall apart when I try and flip them. My favorite crepe topping is a squeeze of lemon followed by some sprinkled powdered sugar. Mmmmm.

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
