Vanilla Crepes

Like a week ago I found an AWESOME crepe recipe, 
I had never made them before & I've heard that they can be a bit difficult to make, 
but this recipe was great & made it super simple! 

It seems like I'm making these every night for Lee & I's 'little snack' after dinner- 
their super easy and so yummy, {maybe not TOO healthy though... but hey, at least I use raw organic sugar!}

Basically all you do is mix a few BASIC ingredients and you're done. 


The recipe I found, she used a warm red raspberry compote filling. 
Which looks so good, but when I went to pick up some red raspberries, there were none.
 I guess there not quite in season yet?? 
So I just used Blackberries. But you can totally use anything you want for the filling. 
Basically for the filling, you just put the fruit, in my case blackberries, in a pan turned on low with butter, a little sugar and lemon juice if you want. The filling is so yummy! 

I made Lee a banana one the other night... {his request... it sounded yucky to me ;) } 
He thought it was pretty good.
 But lately he's been putting a little lunch meat in his or just eating it plain. 

One thing I need to work on is getting my crepe a little bit thinner.
Mine seems rather thick... {it's not supposed to be like a pancake} Ha

Also, this recipe calls for two teaspoons of vanilla {hence the title, vanilla crepes}
I loved incorporating vanilla into these! It's such a unique yummy taste for a crepe!

obviously my pics aren't too spectacular... photography is still on my list of things to work on! ;)



I'm excited to try these with red raspberries... but the blackberries are delish too!

  1. Happy belated birthday!

    The raspberry compote sounds DELICIOUS...I've never tried that before, but will certainly give it a go soon.

    When I make crepes, I always sort of role the skillet with my wrist so that the batter coats the entire bottom of the pan. Once I see a few bubbles rising up on the exposed side, I flip...They generally turn out pretty thin. ;-) Lee sounds like Nick in the whole let me fill this delicious crepe with MEAT thing. lol.

  2. Thank you! :)
    I know- I am super excited to try the red raspberries!
    What size pan do you use?? Yeah... I'll try to do the rolling thing so that it coats the entire pan.
    And seriously! I don't understand those boys.... how could you pick meat filling over FRESH FRUIT?!
