There’s nothing quite as versatile and elegant as homemade crepes.

With their delicate texture and endless filling options, they can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or even a savory meal.

Light, tender, and incredibly easy to customize, these crepes are a must-try in any kitchen.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Crepes are soft, thin, and flexible—perfect for both sweet and savory fillings.

They’re easy to make with simple ingredients you likely already have at home.

This recipe includes variations like cream cheese, strawberries, Nutella, and lemon sugar for endless possibilities.

You can prepare the batter ahead of time, making them perfect for entertaining.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Whole milk keeps the crepes rich and tender (avoid low-fat for best results).

Eggs provide structure while ensuring flexibility in the crepe.

Flour and a touch of sugar balance flavor and create the right consistency.

Butter adds richness to the batter and keeps the crepes golden when cooking.

Strawberries, cream cheese filling, Nutella, or lemon sugar can be used for a variety of serving options.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Always let your pan heat for at least a minute before cooking to prevent sticking.

Add the melted butter to the batter slowly while blending for the smoothest texture.

Keep crepes flexible by not overcooking; they should remain soft, not crisp.

If using strawberries, let them macerate with sugar and jam to deepen the flavor.

How to Make Crepes

Step 1 – Prepare the strawberries

Wash, hull, and slice strawberries.

Mix with sugar and jam, then set aside to macerate.

Step 2 – Make the cream cheese filling

Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Transfer to a bowl.

Step 3 – Blend the crepe batter

Combine milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a blender.

Add flour and salt, then blend until smooth.

Slowly add melted butter while blending.

Step 4 – Heat the pan

Preheat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat.

Add a small amount of butter and swirl to coat.

Step 5 – Cook the crepes

Pour a small scoop of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to cover the bottom.

Cook until set and lightly golden, then flip carefully. Cook briefly on the second side.

Step 6 – Stack and repeat

Transfer crepes to a plate and stack. Adjust pan heat if crepes cook too quickly or slowly.

Continue until all batter is used.

Step 7 – Fill and serve

Spread or spoon in desired fillings (cream cheese, strawberries, Nutella, lemon sugar, or other options).

Roll or fold, then serve warm.

What to Serve Them With

Fresh strawberries and cream for a classic pairing.

Nutella and bananas for a rich, sweet option.

Savory fillings like ham, cheese, or spinach for a meal-worthy twist.

Variations / Substitutions

For savory crepes, omit sugar and vanilla in the batter.

Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries.

Use cinnamon sugar or honey for a simple but delicious filling.

Storage & Leftovers

Stack cooked crepes on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 3 days.

Store batter in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir before using. Add milk if it thickens.

Freeze cooked crepes (layered with parchment) for up to 2 months.
