easy crepe recipe

I love recipes that are versatile. Recipes that can be turned into something sweet or savory. And these crepes are just that. Super-versatile. Super delicious. Sweet. Savory. And everything in between. 

If you’ve never made these yummy crepes at home before, don’t worry. This is an easy-to-follow recipe that you’ll reach for over and over. It’s the only crepe recipe you need, really. And the best part? There are only 7 ingredients that go into it. 

My All Time Favorite Crepes Recipe Russian Pancakes

What are crepes?

Essentially, crepes are ultra-thin French/Russian pancakes. They’re as delicate and paper-thin as lace with perfectly browned, crisp edges. They differ from pancakes because they usually aren’t made with any leavening agents. 

But I’ve added a pinch of baking powder. Hear me out. I know this defies the rule of crepes but adding just a hint, and I really do mean a hint, of leavener gives these crepes a little oomph. You can totally skip it if you’re wanting super-thin crepes, but I like a little fluff in mine. Not like pancakes, but just a little something for my fork to dig into.

My All Time Favorite Crepes Recipe Russian PancakesCrepes are the perfect classy breakfast/brunch food. You could fill them or top them. Serve them with fresh, whipped cream, berries, or Nutella for a classic sweet treat. Or turn them into a savory dish that’s filled with fresh vegetables or meat. Remember when I mentioned how versatile these were? I wasn’t kidding.

I hope you try making these easy crepes at home. It’s the perfect addition to your next Sunday brunch!
