7 delicious crêpes recipes for pancake lovers

Everyone has their own crêpe favorite. I like to eat mine very simply with cinnamon and sugar. This brings out the delicate taste of the thin pancake batter particularly well. But in the long run, that alone would be a bit boring for me too. I like variety on my crêpes plate!

You too? Very good, because I’ve put together 7 crêpes recipes for you – for every season, for dessert, for coffee or even for dinner. Because the French pancakes also taste wonderful savory. Give them a try!

We all know that the French take their pâtisserie extremely seriously. And rightly so. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to enjoy such delicacies as wafer-thin crêpes. To make sure that everything runs like clockwork in your own pâtisserie, I have a few baking tips for you for delicious and light crêpes:

• Sieve your flour: It’s time-consuming, but it’s worth it. Before you pour the flour into the batter bowl, you should pass it through a sieve. This avoids annoying lumps of flour, which would of course be immediately noticeable in wafer-thin crêpes.
• Don’t be afraid of butter: many crêpes recipes like it buttery. And that’s a good thing. Because butter makes the batter smooth – so don’t skimp on it. And let’s be honest: you can count the calories another time.
• Sieve your dough: Yes, I’m serious. Even if you have already sieved your flour, you should also pass the mixed dough through a fine sieve again. Because butter and the like can also cause annoying lumps.
• Give your batter time: Some things simply get better when you give them time. And that also applies to your crêpes batter. It should rest in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes before baking. This gives the gluten time to work its magic. And you get a nice homogeneous batter.
