Tips for Perfect Crepes:
Here are some secret tips that will help you make the perfect crepe:
- To make crepes that are smoother, let the batter sit for 15 minutes.
- You can change the thickness of the pancakes by adding more flour or more milk.
- Adding sugar or vanilla flavor to the batter can give it a hint of sweetness.
Storing Leftovers:
- If, by some chance, you have extra food, don’t worry.
- Place parchment paper between the crepes as you stack them.
- Put it in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it to keep it longer.
