💡 Pro Tips

• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in a pan.
• Smooth Batter: If your batter has lumps, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve for ultra-silky crepes.
• Consistency: The batter should be thin, like heavy cream. If it looks too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk.

Variations

Feel free to top these with toasted pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon on top just before serving for an extra boost of spice.

FAQ
