Storing: Place a piece of parchment paper between each crepe to prevent sticking. Wrap the stack of crepes tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Crepes can also be frozen. Wrap the stack in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, place the crepes in a single layer on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes, or heat individually in a microwave for about 20 seconds each.
Food and Drink Pairings
Crepes pair wonderfully with a variety of foods and drinks:
Sweet Crepes: Serve with a fresh fruit salad, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Pair with a mimosa or a cup of coffee.
Savory Crepes: Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables. Pair with a glass of white wine or a sparkling water with a twist of lemon.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time? A: Yes, the batter can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and give it a good whisk before using.
Q: My crepes are too thick. What did I do wrong? A: If your crepes are too thick, your batter might be too thick. Try adding a bit more milk or water to thin it out to the consistency of heavy cream.
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? A: Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the crepes will have a denser texture and a slightly nuttier flavor.
Q: How can I prevent my crepes from tearing? A: Make sure your pan is hot enough and well-oiled. Also, handle the crepes gently with a spatula when flipping.
Q: What can I use if I don’t have a griddle or frying pan? A: You can use any flat, non-stick surface, such as a crepe maker or an electric griddle.
