  • Cover the dish with foil, or if your baking dish has a cover use that. Transfer into the oven. Bake at 350° F for 40 minutes before serving.

Simple Jam

  • You can use any berry that you like, I usually use strawberries or raspberries. Just add 1 cup of berries to 1/2 cup of sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend till smooth. If you have a lot of seeds, you could strain it for a smooth berry sauce. No blender or food processor, not a problem just use this recipe here.
    1 cup berries, 1½ cups sugar
    jam in a glass cup with an immersion blender on a white plate on the side.
  • Serve crepes warm, with berry sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure your crepe pan is hot before poring in the crepe mixer. 
  • The crepe mixture should be runny, otherwise the crepes will be rubbery. Add water or milk if needed to make the mixture more runny.
  • You can make the crepes ahead of time and bake them an hour before serving.
