    FAVORITE HOMEMADE CREPES — Whether you’re serving sweet or savory crepes, this recipe is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And so easy–your blender does all the work!


    Favorite Homemade Crepes

    My family loves having breakfast for any meal of the day, and these Favorite Homemade Crepes work for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert too!

    We love all manner of breakfast foods, but if I ask for request, everyone chooses these crepes, hands down! And once you get the hang of swirling the batter in your pan, they are so easy to make.

    The biggest secret for making crepes is to pour your batter into the side of the pan, rather than the middle. It swirls around much more evenly this way.

    I became a master crepe maker by watching this video from Jacques Pépin. He’s a master French chef, and I figured I might as well learn from the best.

    I also love his technique, because as you can see if you watch the video, your crepes don’t need to look perfect. Trust be, they’ll be devoured so fast, no one will notice if they aren’t perfectly round.

    Favorite Homemade Crepes

    Of course, you can fill crepes with almost anything–sweet or savory. Our favorite is a sweet cream cheese and whipped cream filling with sliced fresh strawberries.

    In fact, we love the creamy cheese strawberry combo so much, it’s become our traditional Christmas morning breakfast. It’s also a great crepe filling for dessert.

    For savory crepes, we love a combination of chicken, rice, broccoli and cheese. But the possibilities really are endless!

    One of my favorite things about crepes is that they freeze really well. Just layer them between sheets of parchment paper, slide them into a zip-top bag, and pop them in the freezer.

    If you’ve never tried making crepes, give it a go! The first few tries might be a little crazy looking, but you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly, and soon this recipe for Favorite Homemade Crepes will be a favorite at your house too!
