    Pancake Mix Crepes

    These Pancake Mix Crepes are super easy to make, failproof, and just a great way to use your pancake mix. Give them a try!

    What I love about this simple crepe recipe is that it's just another easy way to utilize pancake mix to create a tasty meal. So many people only think that pancake mix is to be used to make pancakes, but it can easily be used for so much more than that.

    As this recipe proves, the thinness of the crepes really does make it a versatile addition for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It all depends on the type of filling that you're going to add to your crepes as to whether it's going to end up being sweet or savory.

    Pancake Mix Crepes vs. Regular Crepes

    These Pancake Mix Crepes are similar to my Sweet Crepes but they do have a bit of a difference.

    My Sweet Crepes are more elastic in texture and can easily be enjoyed without any toppings at all. This is due to the added sweetness and very soft texture.

    This crepe recipe is a bit drier in texture and does need a spread or filling to go along with them. I like to use honey, Nutella, or jam but again, you could even fill it with a less sweet feeling as well.

    Both of these crepe recipes are fantastic and I highly recommend that you try them both to see which ones you like better.

    Which Pancake Mix is Best

    I have tried many brands and they all work equally well. Pancake mix by Aunt Jemima and Krusteaz® is a bit better than Betty Crocker brand in my opinion. I have also tried
    Birch Benders Pancake & Waffle Mix and it was very nice.

    Main Ingredients

    • Pancake Mix. Use your favorite brand.
    • Milk. Both dairy and non-dairy milk can be used here. (Oat milk works great!)
    • Eggs. Help the crepes to hold shape and don't break.
    • Oil. Might be skipped, if desired, but it improves the texture and prevents sticking to the skillet. I like using grapeseed oil because it has a neutral flavor.

    How to make crepes with pancake mix

    1. Place the pancake mix into a medium mixing bowl and add eggs and about ½ cup of milk. Using a whisk, stir until smooth and no lumps remain.

    2. Add the remaining milk and oil. Whisk everything well.

    3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and pour the batter onto the pan, using about ¼ of a cup for each scoop. Tilt the pan and rotate it with a circular motion to help the batter spread evenly.

    4. Cook for about 1 minute per side on medium heat. Repeat until the batter is finished.

    Tips and Tricks

    • How to avoid lumps? Don't add all of the milk at the same time. Add about ½ cup of milk first and whisk nicely, and only when the lumps disappear and the rest of the milk and ingredients.
    • How to avoid sticking? Use a non-stick skillet to fry the pancakes! If your non-stick skillet has a lot of scratches, you might have trouble flipping the crepes.
    • How to flip crepes? Use a thin spatula and don’t be afraid to use your hands to help flip the pancakes, if necessary.
    • When to flip the crepes? The best indicator that a crepe needs to be flipped is when the batter looks completely set, and no liquid remains.
    • How do you know the batter is the right consistency? Take a ladle, dip it into the batter, remove and flip it. Touch it with your finger. The finger trace should remain. If it quickly closes this means that the batter is too runny.

    Filling Ideas

    Many people feel that the best part of eating crepes are the fillings that you can put inside. This is also one part of this recipe that can change up the texture and taste every time you make it.

    Some super simple and delicious filling ideas for this homemade crepes are:

    • Nutella
    • Honey
    • Jam or Jelly
    • Fresh fruit

    And those are just a few. You can easily add in anything that you'd like to get that perfect flavor that you're seeking. Since this simple crepe recipe makes plenty, why not try and add a different filling to each crepe to see what sweet or savory taste you like best? This is all part of the fun!

    These simple pancake crepes are fast and easy to make and are best served warm and right when they're cooked. Make certain to have your toppings ready so that you can load them up with goodness and enjoy every single bite!

      Would lemon curd work as a filling? I am thinking the curd and strawberries and blueberries?

      Does this work with a complete pancake mix or just the regular pancake mix?

      Can replace the milk with almond milk and the grapeseed oil with vegetable oil or butter?
