Are you looking for a perfect breakfast crepe recipe? Look no further, as I have for you easy recipe with the basic crepe batter. You can use this recipe for having crepes plain or with different types of filling (from savory to sweet). You will enjoy them both ways. I like to have plain crepes by dipping them into sour cream, honey or condensed milk. As for the filling, you cannot go wrong with homemade jam from wild strawberries.

How to make crepes in a pan:

- Add granulated sugar into the mixture. Continue mixing.
- Pour all milk and mix again.
- Take all the flour and baking powder through a fine sieve. Add mixture of dry ingredients to the batter by small amounts.
- Keep mixing until you get all the ingredients nice and smooth.
- Lightly oil the skillet or a crepe pan. Heat it over high heat before adding any crepe dough. Pour necessary amount of batter into the skillet and rotate the skillet in the air until batter covers evenly all the surface (for skillet it is about 1/3 of the cup or 1 scoop of a 75 ml ladle). Turn to the other side when it becomes light brown (loosen the edges carefully before flipping). Wai until second side turn light brown. Add extra oil when necessary.
- You can grease every crepe right from the pan with small amount of butter. Enjoy your meal!
To tell you the truth, making crepes was a big step for me. As you can from this blog, I do not have many recipes with dough or batter in it. Making them still really “frightens” me. Yeah, I am not joking!
You know, how they say it: “You should feel the dough! Should feel necessary amount of the ingredient!” However, like many others, I cannot feel it. Therefore, when I find the recipe with perfect proportions for a delicious meal, well, I test it out, cherish it and share with you, guys.
