    Oh my! Talk about yummy! Red Velvet is a fave of mine. You can’t tell the color of the crepes from the strawberries! That’s so amazing! Thanks for sharing on Homestyle Gathering, Marilyn. Hope to see you tomorrow!

      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!

      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!
