My kids love crepes. My husband loves them, too. It’s one of the favorites in his family. On the weekends when we’re feeling ambitious, we’ll often make them. (And by we, I mean Jon, with the help of one or more of our kids.) But this morning, Jon asked the kids to make crepes while he mowed the yard… a request that they took very seriously. So seriously that there were no adults allowed in the kitchen. It was a Kid Only Zone. They got down the blue recipe book and got to work.
Crepes:
1 C. milk, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. salt, 1 C. flour, 1 Tbs melted butter
Mix in that order:
Next, use a measuring cup to pour batter into pan. “Swirl” batter to make crepes thin:
Flip after 1 minute. Don’t overcook.
Mix secret sauce:
My kids were totally ticked off that I disclosed the ingredients in the secret sauce, but I assured them that it’s still very much a secret, since I’m not giving you the recipe for our homemade jam. (Incidentally, you can experiment with different flavor jams. My personal favorite is blackberry.)
Finally, roll, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar:
Frickin yummy.

Thanks for the crepe recipe! I just love the video of the kids. They are so adorable. I especially like that Zoe has your family’s best interests at heart…can’t give away those family secrets. She’s really cute with the missing teeth!

I am certain those crepes are as good if not better than what we bought from the street vendors in Paris. Definitely served with less attitude
