Excellent submission Ann! This is one of the best crepe recipes I've found so far. I added a little vanilla extract and some cinnamon to the batter for added flavor...though it's great as is. I made these for breakfast and as a snack for my kids. My hubby (who's picky about this kind of stuff) gave me 2 thumbs up. Will definitley make again. Thanks

Amazing. I use this all the time because it has never failed me. A friend tried to skimp on the butter but hers did not turn out well. I have tried margarine instead of butter and that works but the taste surely suffers. (no true buttery taste) Definitely add vanilla extract. These FREEZE very well and have often rescued me when I have unexpected guests. Sounds like a lot of eggs but actually does not have an eggy taste to it. I have also used the recipe for bacon/asparagus wraps. Also, I have put in salt/pepper, goat cheese, roasted red peppers and portabellos to make it a crepe sandwich wrap...DELICIOUS!

Absolutely wonderful. I added a pinch of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp. of vanilla to mine. I served them with sliced strawberries, la Creme vanilla yogurt and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Yummy! The crepes were extremely easy to make and the recipe made way more than 8 crepes (but I used a small crepe pan). Great recipe -- definitely a keeper!
