Easy Crepes
These Easy Crepes are so buttery and delicious, my kids couldn’t get enough of it. If you not crazy about crepes you can try my Crumpet recipe. Well we call pancakes, crumpets here in SA. I know that people are offended when we call some of our dishes what they supposedly shouldn’t be called. I have no idea why some of our South African food has the names they have. I try and do research on some but others I don’t find much answers. But I honestly think there are more important things to be concerned about in the world, than to worry about the name of a dish.
Sweet or Savory crepes, you can choose. I used to make a lot of savory ones, will post a recipe soon. My kids loved them with a chicken and mushroom filling. Haven’t made them in a while. Today I stuck to making sweet ones, with a little bit of sugar. My kids wanted to eat them with Nutella. If you making savory ones you can leave out the sugar. You also don’t need a whole lot of ingredients for these Easy Crepes and that’s a plus in these difficult times.
How to make the crepes
For Crepes you need a smooth, runny batter and a good non-stick pan. It doesn’t have to be a crepe pan but definitely non-stick or it will be a disaster. Trust me I know, I’ve had disasters before too. The crepe batter is best after you allow it to stand for a while. This prevents it from tearing. My batter stood for 20 minutes and it worked perfectly for me. I also mix my milk egg, butter and water together and use a whisk to mix my batter. This works well for me, as long as it’s not over-mixed. Some people use a blender so if that works for you feel free to use one. I also grease my pan well with butter, this also helps with the crepe not sticking. Don’t ask me about flipping crepes, if I try that nobody would have crepes to eat…haha! But if you great at flipping them, go for it.
