Classic Crepe Recipe

Easy Crepe Recipe Overview

Light and delicious, surprisingly, these delicious crepes can be make quickly for a late morning breakfast or brunch. I remember making crepes while at LeCordon Bleu, using batter from high quality pastry flour and perfecting the technique. It wasn’t until recently that my health focus had me exploring alternatives. This recipe is now a favorite when I feel the need and want to up my crepe game. It uses all purpose flour and creative ways to provide flavor. You can also enjoy this crepe recipe with a classic blueberry sauce for pancake topping as you would with a pancake crepe.

These easy all purpose flour classic crepes are sweetened with orange liqueur if you have it, but orange juice can be used, orange zest, or other things you can imagine. You can also sweeten these classic crepes with your favorite no-calorie sweetener. I grow stevia in my herb garden, and use freshly chopped leaves, which I think is one of my new favorite uses. The season is coming to an end this year for new leaves, so I will dry what I have left and use those up. No unusual ingredients like xanthan gum, tapioca flour, or gluten free flour are needed in this recipe.
