Easy Breakfast Crepes

There is no better way to start your day than with these easy breakfast crepes. These homemade crepes are thin and just melt in your mouth. You can serve it with jam, fresh fruits, Nutella, and sweet cheese filling (see below). For this simple recipe, you will only need 6 simple ingredients.

These French Style pancakes can be customized to your liking by pouring more or less batter into the frying pan. This customization makes crepes such a popular breakfast choice around the world.

This recipe is simple for cooks of all levels. It is helpful to have an electric mixer on hand for this recipe as well. For frying, I found that having a cast iron skillet works best, however, it is not required.
