Quick and Easy Crêpes

A styled image with two plates of crepes, one with flat stacked crepes the other with crepes folded into triangles. A cutting board with lemons and a container with powdered sugar.

These crêpes are an adaptation of what my mom always made for breakfast growing up. I have a whole set up with a pan and a tool for spreading the batter thinly. You can do it with just a spatula and a nonstick pan. Enjoy!

Quick and Easy Crêpes

Fill the crêpes with whatever you want! I usually do butter, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. You could keep it sweet or fill with savory. Either way, have fun with it. These take practice. Enjoy!
