Homemade Crepes

Are you looking for a good crepe recipe?

My family loves homemade crepes! They would eat them every day if I let them. What's not to love about warm crepes with nutella, strawberries, bananas and cream?

We love making crepes for Valentine's Day, New Year's Day or on a lazy Saturday morning.

How To Make Crepes

French crepes are so easy to make. Making a crepe batter will only take you about 5 minutes and then you're ready to cook!

Truth be told, my 10 year old loves making crepes, so I put him in charge of cooking the crepes once the batter is made.

The only "hard thing" about making crepes is that it will take you some time to cook them. Crepes are not a fast breakfast, but the good news is that you can do something else while you are cooking crepes.

If you want crepes for breakfast and aren't a morning person like me, you can even make them the night before.

The Best Crepe Maker

What is the best crepe maker? We bought this cordless crepe maker a few years ago and have never looked back!

I love this crepe maker because it's easy to use. I even let my kids use it!

It comes with a spatula, crepe maker and base, plus batter plate to easily dip the crepe maker into.

How To Serve Crepes (Helpful Hints)

Homemade crepes can be served cold, warm or hot, baked, or even fried. Really, the sky is the limit when it comes to serving them. Here's a few of the most popular ways to serve crepes.

• Nutella and bananas
• Nutella and strawberries
• Cinnamon and sugar
• Whip cream and bananas

Keeping Crepes Warm

To keep the crepes warm after making them, simply cover a stack of crepes a piece of aluminum foil.

Freezing & Refrigerating Crepes

Can crepes be frozen?

Yes! Crepes will keep up to a month in the freezer. To freeze crepes, stack a batch on foil or wax paper. Insert into a large plastic food storage bag and twist as much air out as possible.

To use the crepes once frozen, let the crepes warm up to room temperature. They should peel apart as you gently pull them.

If you are in a hurry, you can warm the stack of crepes in a low oven. Be sure to cover them with foil while you warm them so they don't dry out.
