Have you ever tried making crepes yourself? For a while, I was hesitant to try it. Thinking they required too much time and effort to make. But, not any more.

What are Crepes?

Crepes are a type of pancake. But, not like the typical kind that are served in a tall stack at breakfast. Instead, these are made very thin without a fluffy interior.

The batter is kept pretty simple too—without added flavors or mix-ins, like fruit or chocolate chips.

How to Make Crepes at Home

The Ingredients

In order to make these almond flour crepes, here is what you’ll need:

From the refrigerator: eggs, milk, yogurt

From the freezer: almond flour*

From the pantry: oil, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon

*It’s best to store nuts and nut flours in a cool and dark place, like the refrigerator or freezer. This helps prevent the nut flour from going bad and extend their shelf life.

Time to Cook Crepes

Here’s where it gets a little complicated. Compared to other kinds of “pancakes” these are going to need a little more attention.

Crepes are not as simple as filling a muffin tin and baking them in the oven like Mini German Pancakes. Though the cooking process is more similar to traditional pancakes—where you cook one side at a time, flipping in between—it’s hard to cook multiple crepes at once. They can’t be made on a griddle without special tools to help them spread.

To make a single crepe, pour the batter into a frying pan. Swirl around to spread evenly. Cook on one side, flip and continue cooking the other side. This process takes about 5 minutes per crepe. 

Best to set a timer and have a quick kitchen task to do while these cook. Better yet, take out more than one non-stick pan. That way you can cook more than one crepe at a time.
