Small Batch Crepes

Is there anything better than crepes for breakfast? This small batch crepes recipe is perfect if you just want to make a small amount of crepes for 1-2 people and you're not cooking for a large crowd. 

My husband lived in France for a couple years shortly after graduating high school. There was definitely a period of time in our marriage where I tried to cook all the French things for him. 11 years in I've definitely gotten lazy, but crepes are an easy weekend breakfast that can be made with very little effort! 

Small Batch Crepes:

Crepes are a very versatile breakfast food. You can make them either savory or sweet depending on what you like to fill them with. I always go sweet, typically strawberries and whipped cream are my favorite combination, but you can do a lot of different savory options too! These crepes come together with primarily pantry staple ingredients, so you should have everything on hand. 

Since this is a small batch crepe recipe, this recipe makes about 4-5 crepes depending on the size of your pan and how much batter you pour for each one. 

Ingredients for Small Batch Crepes:

Like mentioned previously, there aren't many complicated ingredients involved in making the crepes themselves. Depending on the toppings you want, they can become a fairly complex meal. To make the crepe batter you will need:

• 1/2 cups Milk 
• 1 large Egg
• 3/4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted 
• 1/4 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar 
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla 
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/3 cups Flour
  
  

The Best Toppings for Crepes:

You can make crepes to be either savory or sweet. Some great flavor combinations for crepes are:

• Strawberries and whipped cream
• Bananas and nutella
• Peach pie filling and whipped cream
• Practically any jam
• Maple syrup
• Scrambled eggs and veggies
• Chicken and pesto
• Scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage

Kitchen Tools to Make Crepes:

There are some basic kitchen tools you need when making crepes. For starters you need a high speed blender to blend the batter together. This is non-negotiable or else your batter will 100% have lumps in it. After a blender you need a nonstick pan. I recommend the Always Pan from Our Place as it's the best non-stick I've used!
