Crepes are one of my favorite weekend breakfasts. I think it’s because I can load it with fruit with less of the “batter” than a traditional pancake and the texture of a good crepe is just perfect.
One of the secrets of a good crepe batter is to let the batter rest. This will make sure you have perfectly tender crepes every time.
