Take a medium frying pan and after each greasing, pour 3-4 spoons of batter in the center and twirl the frying pan to cover the whole surface, but be careful that its thickness is not too much and it stays thin so that we have the desired texture.

- It is better to use milk in your batter. But if you want a stronger taste, you can use cream instead of half milk.
- For salted crepes, you can remove vanilla and use black pepper instead, and increase the amount of salt. You can also add your favorite spices or vegetables.
- When cooking the crepes, you can keep them by the oven to keep them warm during cooking, or at the end heat them in the microwave.
- The mixer combines the flour with the wet ingredients very well and gives us a completely smooth batter. If you do not have a blender, you can also mix it by hand, but you have to stir the batter well to make it soft and smooth.
- Crepe with honey and orange pickle can be a great combination. But this combination is one of the hundreds of combinations that you can try with these crepes.
- If you are aware of the heat of the stove and frying pan and take care of it and flip it over on time, you will have a well-textured and soft crepe with a crispy margin at the end.
Background & History
I used to make pancakes, but a few years ago, after a trip to Russia, I saw how the crepes are popular and it includes one of their main dishes, and they use it not just for breakfast, but also for other meals. It was decorated with honey, jam, and fruits for a sweet breakfast, and it was made with salt for dinner included bacon, meat, and vegetables. Since then, its great variety has encouraged me to make this soft and well-textured crepe.
