Mom says...This recipe makes 4 crepes.
Recipe can easily be increased to accommodate the needs of your family. Baking powder is not a typical ingredient you will find in a crepe but it gives just a tad bit more body. The extra body makes the crepe easier to work with and eliminates the need to refrigerate a traditional crepe batter for an hour or more to allow time for air bubbles to be released. The extra body also satisfies those who find traditional crepes too "light weight and wimpy". If you are planning on a savory filling omit the vanilla and sweetener. |
