Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Combine all ingredients until smooth. This batter should be flavorful and well-blended.

Once the mixture is smooth, gradually add 1 cup of hot water to the batter, mixing gently. Ensure that the water is added slowly to maintain the correct consistency.

Step 2

Cook the Crepes

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour a small amount of crepe batter into the center of the pan, and quickly swirl it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the surface appears set. Gently flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat this process until you have cooked all the crepes, stacking them on a plate.

Step 3

Prepare the Fillings

While the crepes are cooking, prepare your fillings. For the sautéed mushroom filling, cook the mushrooms in a pan until golden and mix in some sour cream. For the cottage cheese filling, combine cottage cheese with a bit of sugar and a touch of vanilla for flavor. For the ham and cheese option, simply layer slices of ham and cheese together.

Step 4

Stuff and Serve

Once all the crepes are ready, take one crepe and add your desired filling down the center.

Carefully roll or fold the crepe over the filling. These crepes are ready to be served immediately and can be enjoyed warm. They also do not require thawing if stored, making them perfect for quick meals.

Enjoy your delicious stuffed crepes!

Equipment

Non-stick frying pan or griddle

Choose a non-stick surface for easy flipping! Preheat on low to medium heat for even cooking.

Mixing bowls

You'll need a large bowl for mixing the batter and a medium bowl for combining your fillings. Make sure they're dry to avoid any unwanted lumps!

Whisk or hand mixer

A whisk will do the trick, but a hand mixer can save time and make your batter extra fluffy.

Variations

Gluten-Free Pancakes: 🥩 Simply replace regular flour with a good quality gluten-free blend. Make sure to check that the baking powder you use is also gluten-free.
Vegan Pancakes: 🥑 Swap the egg with a flaxseed meal or applesauce, and use plant-based milk, like almond or oat milk, instead of regular dairy. These small changes will ensure you enjoy delicious pancakes without losing that fluffy texture!
