I love getting crepes, both sweet and savory, when we go to a restaurant. So why was I so intimidated by making crepes at home? It really was as easy as making pancakes! Just find a recipe online and give it a try. Instead of using regular vanilla, consider using Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. It won’t thin the batter, but adds a delicious hint of flavor.
The vanilla “paste” is packaged like liquid vanilla, so I was curious to see what it would be like. It’s very thick, similar to molasses or honey, so you can easily control how much you use. Has anyone else had a vanilla “oops” spill, pouring too much in when making a recipe?
Look closely — you can see those amazing vanilla specks in there.
I knew going in that the crepe batter needed to be thin — thinner than pancake batter — so I used the stick blender. This thing is so super helpful and simple to use! As you can see, I mixed everything in a cereal bowl. Can’t do that with a regular hand blender (at least, I can’t!) without making an epic mess.
The crepes turned out so good. I can’t believe I waited so long to try these! Next time, I’ll try a savory recipe.
