This recipe is from my Aunt Claire & it is AMAZING! I grew up loving crepes. They were the special breakfast my mom would make whenever we had a sleepover or someone requested it for their birthday or Christmas morning. I tried Claire’s recipe years ago and never turned back!

It uses a dozen eggs and a can of coconut milk along with regular milk, flour, and some sugar. It’s definitely more of a sweet crepe, so if you’re into savory crepes, I’d look for a different recipe or try this one without the sugar. But if you’re like me and prefer sweet crepes, this one is for you!

You start with your ingredients & add them all to a blender.

You could totally mix the batter by hand, but I find that the flour creates clumps & the batter is hard to get smooth without a ton of mixing. Plus, a blender is just faster. I’ve had this one since we got married 5 years ago & still love it!

To measure the milk, you just fill up the coconut milk can!

I love that this recipe uses a dozen eggs. Not only does that mean tons of protein, but if you have chickens and get eggs from them, then chances are you are swimming in eggs & are always looking for a way to use them up.

Once totally smooth, heat a 10” nonstick frying pan over medium heat on the stove. I LOVE my Hexclad skillets, but any nonstick pan will work! You could even invest in some crepe pans if you plan to make them often!

Spray your pan with nonstick cooking spray. Then, using a measuring cup, pour 1/4c batter into the pan, swirling it as you pour to coat the whole bottom of the pan.

After about 60-90 seconds, the edges will start to get a bit golden & crispy. You should be able to slide a spatula under the edges & run it around the whole crepe so none of the edges are sticking. Then gently flip the crepe using the spatula.

Cook for another 60 seconds or so or until the bottom is just starting to get golden. Then remove and place on a plate lines with a clean towel & then cover with a towel to keep it from drying out.

You will probably have to adjust your heat a you go, so just watch it and lower it or raise it as needed.

To make the process go faster, I usually have two or even three skillets on my stove at a time so I can cook them a lot faster.

Then top with your favorite toppings!

Some of my favorite combos are:

• Cream cheese, Berries & Whipped Cream

• Peanut Butter, Nutella, Bananas & Whipped Cream

• Nutella, Bananas, Strawberries & Whipped Cream
