Delicious "One-man" Crepes
I call this "One-man" crepes because this amount will make exactly ONE large crepe good for a quick breakfast or lunch - You can easily double, triple or quadruple the recipe depending on how many crepes you need :)
Crepes are so versatile because you can fill them with anything ranging from sweet to savory! Try wrapping your favorite fruits, yogurt, cottage cheese, jams, etc. for a sweet breakfast, or turn into a delicious lunch by wrapping up grilled/roasted chicken or stir-fried veggies, or any sandwich ingredients!
Tip: Instead of milk, try out different liquids such as orange juice or other fruit juices, soy milk, or even chicken/vegetable stock for savory flavor.
Note: Leave out the sugar & vanilla if wrapping up savory fillings.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla. You might also try using juices, stock or just water instead of milk too!
- 2
In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt.
- 3
Combine wet mixture with dry mixture and mix well until batter is smooth. Let rest for half an hour in the fridge for best results. (Sometimes I skip the resting part when I'm in a hurry. Still tastes good ;)
- 4
Melt a little butter or vegetable oil in a large frying pan and swirl it around so it evenly coats the pan. Nonstick pans are really convenient when cooking crepes because you don't need so much butter or oil.
- 5
Pour in batter, tilting the pan around as you do so. Let cook about one minute until crepe sets.
- 6
When it can be flipped, gently turn over to other side with a spatula.
- 7
Cook briefly and remove from pan. If making more, repeat the steps and stack crepes on top of each other as the finish. You can eat immediately or wrap and chill until later in the refrigerator.

I love topping these with fruits, yogurt/cottage cheese, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup!
- 9
Wrap all sorts of things inside!

Pancakes Pancakes
Pancakes are like fluffy crepes. You can find special syrup (maple syrup) in stores to pour over them. Otherwise, a little honey with cinnamon will do the trick. They make a very tasty and nutritious breakfast.Of course, you can accompany them with whatever you like, such as Nutella, jams, tahini, or even something savory like cheese or ham.They can be made with all types of flour, but I recommend strong flour because I think it makes them very fluffy!Other secrets: You can add ingredients to this batter and bake them. For example, you can add cheese or bacon to the batter and make savory pancakes with filling. In the Netherlands, they do it this way and you get a whole meal.

Easy Sunday morning crepes Easy Sunday morning crepes
A big Sunday morning breakfast is a tradition in our house and so today we went with crepes to eat with some fancy types of honey that the girlfriend got as a gift. Prone to overdoing things as I am, we wound up with DIY "crepe station" complete with caramelized apples, Nutella, sea salt, raisins, and who knows what else. Usual disclaimer: this is a found recipe for which I've given the full quantities even though I only made a 1/2 batch.

Pancake Mix Crepes Pancake Mix Crepes
So I was craving breakfast tacos when I realized I had no tortillas. I thought "why not use a thin pancake?" After many trials i found the perfect mix ratio for a crepe style pancake strong enough to make tacos with. These are very versatile and can be served sweet with fruit and whip cream, with powdered sugar and syrup or savory like a taco.

Savory Mushroom Crepes Savory Mushroom Crepes
Crepes are the perfect vehicle for exploration. I've been experimenting with sweet and savory but my favorite, by far, has been this savory crepe with fresh, farmers market oyster mushrooms, melted mozzarella, and a beer sauce. This makes about 10 crepes and enough mushroom filling for two crepes but can be easily multiplied.

Simple One-Egg Crepes Simple One-Egg Crepes
This is the first dessert I ever made!My mother taught me this recipe.- You can use the same frying pan used to melt the butter to cook the crepe, just wipe the grease off with a paper towel!- If you let the batter rest at step 5, the crepe will come out even smoother.- You can cook it in a microwave using a spring roll wrapper too! Why not try it this way with your kids? Recipe by Pekori-

Chewy Chocolate Crepes Chewy Chocolate Crepes
is a recipe for chewy crepe batter that I came up with through trial and error. It makes crepes just like the ones from a crepe stand. I based this chocolate crepe with the original plain crepe and the matcha version.Make sure you use cocoa powder (unsweetened) instead of hot chocolate mix or any with sweeteners.It's very important to heat the frying pan very well before pouring in the batter! I heat it until it smokes, then place it on top of a damp dish cloth for a few seconds to cool, and then start cooking the crepes.Be careful not to start a fire! Recipe by Hamumaki -
