This recipe is with butter replaced by California Olive Oil. It makes the crepes taste fruitier and lighter, less buttery. I also replaced the dairy milk with coconut cream milk. I use local whole wheat bleached all purpose flour. And use California Brandy to flambee the dish when serving. I made a vegetarian version and a vegan version, one with fresh farm eggs and another version with egg white substitute called aquafaba, the whipped juice from beans.

My French Grandmother makes crepes all the time. She never measures, so I watched her one day and eyeballed her recipe. Enjoy!

Totally in love 😍 🥰 with this recipe that I found in one of my favorite food bloggers pages in Instagram. It’s thin and tender and deliciously buttery 😋 You can use any kinds of fillings you like. My favorite is always hazelnut spread and fresh strawberries 🍓 Hmmm now I’m thinking of making the chocolate version of this yummy crepe. What do you think? Do you also like chocolate crepe? 😊Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary (Indonesian recipes) or @jenscookdineandtravel (English recipes) 🙏🏻

This is the simplest recipe for milk based crepes

From Jean Pare's Rookie Cookbook, the first adult cookbook I was given in my teens. This one is a winner with my son and nephew. It's quick and simple, and is delicious with just syrup or fruit and whipped cream. Once I even put leftover ribs and BBQ sauce on it.

Ideally it's good to let the mixture set for 30 mins to allow all the starches blend for a full flavour. I add brown sugar (or any sugar) to give it a little crispness and sweetness - totally optional.

It’s a breakfast or lunch special. My mother usually makes crêpes in big batches and we love eating them with sweet or savory toppings. In some recipes, Crêpes are even used to make dinner specials. Maybe I’ll post a dinner table recipe using crêpes some day! ;)

At first I was adding sugar and butter to my crepes (as in the basic recipe), but at some point I realized they tasted fine without it, so I omitted it. Now I make my crepes with or without butter depending on the toppings I'm using (I do not add any sugar).When I'm using whipped cream or fruit as toppings, I cook these simple, light-colored sugar crepes until lightly golden brown. (This is just my preference.) They're fine without the brandy, but it adds fragrance to the finished product. Add as much butter as you like. Recipe by Yukiline
