Marilyn CREPES!!!!!! I need to start adding this as a breakfast meal! Thanks so much for this recipe! Yum!
LOL. Crepes are just thin pancakes. After a few tries it is like riding a bike. You get the movement down. I hope you give them, or one of the other crepes in my recipes, a try. Enjoy!
You had me at crepes! We love crepes and these look so yummy!
Thanks for sharing,
Bev
Thanks for writing Bev! I love crepes because they are so light and for whatever mental reason I dress them up healthier than pancakes. Glad you liked them.
This recipe looks amazing! And you’re right I never thought I would be able to make crepes but maybe I should give it a try one of these days, plus it would be great to make the batter before and just have to cook them in the morning. Thanks!
Kristen, they are no harder than pancakes! You definitly should try. Thanks for commenting.
Yum! This looks so good! Red velvet crepes must be amazing! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
