    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 15 crepes.
  • For an extra smooth batter feel free to use your blender. Just add the ingredients to the blender jar and pulse a few times.
  • If your skillet runs out of butter while you are making your crepes, add a little more. This will prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and the flour is sifted before starting. This will ensure that your batter will be smooth and lump free.
