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.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cuppancake mix
  2. 1 1/2 cupmilk or water (based on box instructions)
  3. 1large egg
  4. 1 teaspoonvanilla (omit for savory)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together ingredients until there are no lumps transfer batter to a pourable container

  2. 2

    Using a nonstick skillet, heat to medium high and either spray with cooking spray (which I hate) or thinly glaze the pan with melted butter. Do this between EVERY crepe

  3. 3

    When pan is fully heated, pour about a 1/4 cup of batter (more for a large skillet) and tilt the pan around in a swirl until the edges of the pan are reached. * ps the first crepe always comes out a dud so dont give up!

  4. 4

    As the crepe cooks it will bubble a lot, that's normal

  5. 5

    When the edges curl and the center is no longer soaking wet you are ready to flip

  6. 6

    Using a wide spatula gently slide under crepes and flip gently

  7. 7

    Cook a minute longer. Make sure you crepe can slide around in the pan. The slide the crepe off to a plate. Reglaze the pan with spray or butter and repeat!

  8. 8

    Allow to cool before stuffing like taco or immediately fold traditional crepe style and serve

This recipe yielded ALMOST 10 standard sized crepes for me. While a good substitute for flour-based crepes, these have a heavier, easy-to-tear, doughy texture, and do not easily release from the pan for turning. Crepes should not require a buttered pan, as it makes swirling the batter evenly very difficult. To cure this, add 2T melted butter to the batter. This recipe calls for 4 ingredients... Substitute flour, sugar and salt for the pancake mix and you have authentic, light crepes.
