Notes

  1. Flour: While crepes are traditionally made with buckwheat flour, even the French may substitute white flour (usually white wheat flour) for sweet crepes.
  2. Yield: This easy Crepes recipe makes 8 (10-inch) crepes.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  4. Make ahead: The crepe batter can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Whisk to recombine before cooking the crepes.
  5. Freezer: Stack cooled, unfilled crepes (laid flat) between sheets of parchment, wax paper, or white paper towels. Store in freezer-safe containers, label, date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a non-stick skillet.
