    There has been enough said about Sweet Crepes. We get it. They are good.

    Growing up in Ukraine, we had crepes pretty often on our family table. Usually, they were stuffed with mushrooms, meat, or sautéed cabbage for savory flavors, and with jam or cottage cheese and raisins for the sweet tooth. I liked the sweet ones best.

    I make these Sweet Crepes for breakfast every Sunday. They are so easy to make (Yes, EASY!) and so versatile. My husband loves these stuffed with Nutella, strawberries, and banana, and my toddler and I enjoy them as is.

    How to make Sweet Crepes

    3. Pour the batter onto the pan, using about ¼ of a cup for each scoop.

    4. Tilt the pan and rotate it with a circular motion to help the batter spread evenly.

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

    NOTE: While cooking crepes, you don't have to grease the pan with butter for every single one. Grease it once just before cooking the first crepe and this should be enough. Use just a little bit of butter to prevent sticking. You may also choose to substitute butter with coconut oil.

    Sweet Crepes FAQ:

    Can I make Sweet Crepes ahead of time? Yes. You have two options:

    1. You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Then, pan fry the crepes right before serving.

    2. You can make the crepes, place them in an oven-proof dish, cover tightly with foil, and store them in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, place the foil-wrapped crepes in the oven, and bake for 5-7 minutes at 300ºF.

    Can I use honey instead of sugar? Yes. Use 1 tbsp. of honey instead. I prefer using honey, too. 🙂

    Sweet Crepe Tips:

    • 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.
    • Don’t be afraid to use your hands to help flip the pancakes, if necessary.
    • The best indicator that a crepe needs to be flipped is when the batter looks completely set, and no liquid remains.

      This was such a lovely recipe to work with. I quartered it, used maple syrup and a mixture of skim milk with half & half [it’s what I had on hand], and sprinkled in ground cinnamon. I used a smaller skillet and got six crepes. Filled them with a strawberry mixture that I made up on the spot. O-M-Goodness. This is going to be my go to and I can’t wait to share with my family.

      Hi
      I tried this recipe and it was amazing. The kids loved it!
      Can I ask how long can you keep the mixture in the fridge before it goes off? Thanks

        Hi Sherry! I am not sure about this one. I guess it should last for a few days.

      You’ll read dozens of recipes, as I do. But I’m here to save you from all that, just do this one! Perfectly easy to put together with everything you already have on hand and if you don’t, well add this one to your list. If you are a man, please try them at home for your mom first before your gal. Both will be super grateful.
      My husband mixed a banana with peanut butter ( I know! But this was not disclosed prior to our lawful union). And our son used flavored cream cheese, actually pretty good. And I used Lyles Golden Syrup. And that’s the fun, every one can do something different.
