BETH'S EASY CREPES RECIPE
Makes 8-10 Crepes
Ingredients:
1 cup (120 g) of All Purpose Flour
1 tbsp (13 g) sugar
pinch of salt
2 eggs, beaten well
2 cups (475 ml) of milk
4 tbsp (60 ml) melted butter
assorted jams for filling
powdered sugar for dusting
grapeseed oil for greasing pan (or some other non-flavored oil like vegetable oil or canola oil)
METHOD:
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar and salt. Then pour in the milk, and whisk, then add the beaten eggs, and then add the melted butter.
Dab some grapeseed oil on a paper towel and liberally grease a non-stick skillet that measures 9 ½ inches at the bottom (total circumference of pan will be around 12 inches). Heat pan on medium high heat, until hot.
Ladle out 1 serving of batter with a standard sized soup ladle. Swirl batter around the pan, until it completely covers the bottom, but does not ride up on the sides. Your crepe will be easier to flip and remain more uniform in shape if you prevent the batter from riding up.
Once the batter looks dry on the top and the edges begin to turn golden brown, take a long , skinny metal spatula and slide it under all the sides, loosening it from the edge. Then raise up when side, gently grab it with your hands and flip!
Cook for 30-40 seconds on the other side until golden brown. Spread inside with butter and jam, or butter and fresh lemon juice, fold in half, and then in quarters. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top. And serve immediately
BETH'S HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Makes 3 cups
1 (12 oz) (340 g) bag of chocolate chips
2/3 cup (160 ml) heavy cream
1 tbsp(15 ml) honey
1 tsp (5 ml) of vanilla
METHOD:
To make the chocolate sauce melt chocolate chips and heavy cream in a sauce pan. Once melted add honey and vanilla. Stir to combine and serve warm over ice cream. Store in fridge, and microwave to re-liquify. Will last for a week in the fridge.

[@khivan99]

I made these for my little sister and my mom this morning, they were quite impressed! I'm a beginner in the "cooking world" so I didn't know what to expect. First of all, I burned the first crepe. But no worries, the others turned out great! I was quite surprised by how delicious they were paired with the butter and lemon (new favorite!). Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe Beth! :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh yes that's my favorite way to eat them too! :) So glad they were a hit!

[@guguigugu]

the first one is always a "test one", to see the temp of the pan and the consistency of the batter.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Great! :) So glad you enjoy the videos :) The full recipe is in the description below the player. But just in case...here it is as well 1 cup (120 g) of All Purpose Flour 1 tbsp (13 g) sugar pinch of salt 2 eggs, beaten well 2 cups (475 ml) of milk 4 tbsp (60 ml) melted butter

[@ceenars]

For dessert crepes, I like brown sugar and butter for the filling. The brown sugar kind of melts and it tastes amazing! I also love savory crepes. When i visited my family in Paris, my aunt made ham and cheese crepes. SO good!

[@nathanfarias1051]

I just made These .. you know breakfast for dinner ! I let batter rest like 30 minutes ..They were perfect .. the first tine I measured wrong ! Ty Beth

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Wonderful! So glad they were a hit! :)

[@simonakafe]

Hi Beth, I just tried the crepes yesterday night and they were a huge hit! I served them around a rotating chocolate fondue set with a lot of fresh fruits to add on top and people had a lot of fun preparing them. I even doubled the dose. Marvelous!

[@tanemily1503]

Thank you! Tried this and the crepes tasted really great! I initially used a pan I thought was non-stick (but wasn't) and it burnt badly, but once I changed the pan it went a whole lot better. Super easy and yummy, thanks again!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw what a sweet comment, thank you William. I love that you are inspired in this way. You will find that so much joy in life can come from cooking. It just makes everyone happy :) Keep at it! (And I'll be here to help you every step of the way!) xx B

[@neshantalinson2815]

I love our crepe recipe. I just finished making these and my family loved them. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you are so welcome! I'm so glad they were a hit :) my family loves them too! :)

[@xGy37x]

ha crepe flipping drama! im in highschool and in this culinary class we have we made crepes a little different. we used different types of flour and used butter to grease the pan. she told us to keep the pan on the stove for a couple minutes so the crepe will be able to slide around and such. we even did the upside down flip and i did it on my first try. i thought my heart stopped. she gave us apple pie filling for it and i was in heaven! your looks awesome. now ill test this in a week. thanks!

[@gabrielafox11]

When I first tried this, I used a different recipe and let's just say that it didn't turn out very well. When I tried yours, they were perfection! Thank you so much! I love all of your videos:)

[@02livie]

I just want to thank you for this recipe, I have used previous recipes before with no success which was very disappointing since I love crepes. I made these for my family and now they want crepes every day! Thanks again

[@Coffeelocks23]

I made these the other day and instead of putting chocolate inside or anything like that, i put the raspberry sauce in them that you taught us how to make for the mothers day ricotta pancakes. OMG to die for!!!!! so delicious. Thanks Beth!!!!

[@allisonking4935]

When I studied abroad in Paris, we had a crepe stand underneath our apartment. This looks almost exactly how he made them every time! My favorite was banana and Nutella...best dessert (or just snack...) I've ever had!

[@laurabiscaro8135]

Beth, I made those for my mom for a mother's day breakfast. amazing. really. she loved it, my grandma loved it, my sisters loved it, I loved it, everybody loved it! haha

[@deborahalexander8861]

Hi Beth, I just made these lovely crapes of yours. Thank you for sharing. I love your recipies.

[@doodahgurlie]

I have not made crepes in years, but I will definitely try your recipe the next time I make it. I love both sweet and savory versions (the French bakery I worked at when I was younger, made amazing seafood crepes and there was this one thing with alternating layers of crepes, cream cheese, thin meats...I forget the name, but it was very rich). Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this.

[@dfaour1977]

I just made this recepie, the mix is perfect, i had a little bit difficult to set the heat in a gas range, and the flip because i don't have the crepe statula, but great recipe and foolproof. thanks Beth for this recipe

[@LaGwenyvere]

The same here :) My parents were shown this filling decades ago, and i grew up with this. I do experiment with fillings, but I'll always come back to this one. The sugar/lemon/cinnamon/orange liquere was introduced to us by my fathers new wife and is similar, because it also consists of this combination of flavors that are necessary for a good taste: fat, sugar and some acid. Nom nom nom. I'm getting hungry :)

[@andresbuenaventura4063]

wonderful crepes recipe.. first time making it and it was a hit.. my kids loved it. the batter was absolutely easy to make and the cooking part is so easy. thanks a million Beth i love all your recipes and excellent tips..

[@sophiapark9065]

I made these for my family a few days ago and they loved it! My brother had three.. haha thanks so much, Beth!

[@Shiloh0506]

I use a different recipe, And cook them slightly different but, come out perfect too. That's something i had to learn from being with my French man. His mom is a great cook every time I go to France I learn something new from her. ;-) Anyways, .. try them with cream cheese, mushroom, And spinach. . It's so good. That's my favorite way to eat them.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh that does sound lovely! I must give that combo a try! Thanks for sharing :)

[@FallenAngel2406]

I made this for dinner tonight. was really nice for my first attempt. Thank you for the video and recipe. I shall make this again. my sister loves crepes!!

[@elboon_80]

I have more or less given up on looking for crepe recipes... decided to look again, and found this... It's EXCELLENT! It works! I tried it on the crepe making thingamajig, but will try it on the non-stick skillet next time! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

YAY! So glad it was a success! :) Yeah that crepe thingymigigy never works LOL! Best to go "old school" in a non-stick skillet!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

My friends and family all seem to be able to cook things,however even though I make noise about needing some help,nobody bothers to teach me anything at all. I am so glad that there are generous people like you on here to help us more "culinary challenged" folks! Thank you!! :D

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw yes we are here to help! :) Beginner cooks are my favorite :) Stick with me and you'll be out-cooking all those friends and family and they'll be asking you to teach them things! LOL! :)

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Thanks Beth! :) xx

[@iamEatingRight]

Sounds so yummy! I appreciate the tip about the pan size. My parents had a crepe pan that we used about once! They never turned out so that was the end of it and I've never ventured back as an adult.

[@mrsthesmsm]

Dear Beth, Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. It was super easy to make. I did find all your tips to be vital and very helpful. I'm hocked for life. I'm not sure I can ever go back to boring pancakes. I made some sweet and other savory. They were all a big hit. Thanks once again. Take care.

[@dzevallos500]

Made these this morning! It was perfect and now I never have to go to IHOP or a creperie to satisfy my cravings ever again! I've been meaning to make these for some time now, but I always thought it would take too much time or I didn't have the right tools etc. Thank you for proving me wrong. Please continue to make amazing recipes! My next goal is that apple tart. I thought I was over my tart phase, but when I saw your video, I knew I had to make it too! You're such an inspiration :)

[@Knulppage]

I'm liking Beth's explanations and recipes...makes me want to cook. Her expertise and experience shine through in her videos.

[@yelaklleps]

I had never had crepes before, but had always wanted to try them. THIS is the best recipe/tutorial ever. They have come out wonderfully! Thanks so much!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you bet! I'm so glad to hear they were a hit!! :)

[@KatoPotatoooo]

This is the second amazing recipe from Beth that I made this week. This time my 8 year old daughter was my sous chef and the whole family enjoyed our nutella crepes! I am a huge fan, Beth! I'm sure we'll be making them again soon! Obrigada from Brazi!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw so glad to hear that! My daughters are 3 and 7 and LOVE to help me make these too! It's an easy recipe for kids to help with. They like all the stirring and pouring! :) So glad they were a hit!

[@karyulover]

Thank you thank you thank you! I've never been able to make a good crêpe and as a person with dysautonomia I need something simple and fast because I can't stand for too long. This worked perfectly! Great recipe 😊

[@laticiabrown]

Im soooooooo proud of myself!!!!!!! I just made these right now and it came out awesome❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank u so much

[@xGy37x]

I just made this and I think it's easier than I thought. I like it!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw thanks for that :) You will LOVE that tart! It's so satisfying to see how beautiful it turns out and people are always so impressed when you bring it to the table! It's really yummy with the homemade whipped cream too! So glad you like the videos! Thanks for your support :)

[@bethzaidavasquez6794]

Hello Beth. I just made your crepe recipe for the forth time. We just can't get enough! Thanks

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw thanks for that :) You are too kind. I'm a butter girl all the way. Butter is made with natural ingredients where margarine is not. I really try and stay away from processed foods as much as possible. They have different properties and just don't perform the same. So for this recipe, butter is the way to go! Enjoy!

[@stupidsnaps]

Thanks for answering! I made a batch and it was gorgeous. I think it's gonna be my new fav thing for a while.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! It's definitely a standby at our house! Enjoy! :)

[@bananashaveice]

I added a splash of vanilla to this recipe & it was a hit! My first two crepes was a fail but the rest was a success. I filled it with sliced bananas & Reddi Whip whipped cream & drizzled chocolate sauce on the top of the folded crepe. Yum! TFS!!

[@orchid8384]

Beth, I really love the fact that you are so down-to-earth. You make time to reply to almost all of your fans. This is such a rarity these days and goes to show that fame has not gotten over your head like most people. You are such a breath of fresh air for staying you. Love all your recipes and most of all, your personality!

[@PUnkx93PrIncEss]

THANK SO MUCH BETH! I tried this to give my mom a break from breakfast duty and my family loved it!

[@ttone7972]

I made these and my boyfriend loved it! Thank you!

[@JennfuurMarie]

Just made this, it was very, very good. Thanks Beth! Although, I have to add, that I couldn't flip the crepes with my fingers, I kept burning myself so I just decided to flip it with a metal spatula, it work perfectly.

[@nlee7958]

This really worked! I love crepes, and could not figure out how to make them perfectly until this video. It turned out so well! I love putting strawberry cream cheese as well as fresh strawberries inside! Absolutely delicious!

[@carolpoluan8279]

Hi! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm going to try this for our coming prayer meeting this Saturday. Regards from Indonesia.

[@emclau2955]

I went to a crepe cafe a few weeks ago and have been dreaming of the next time I can have a dulce de leche crepe without paying an obscene amount for it. Beth, you are officially the best. This is perfect! This recipe also reminds me of how my mom makes pancakes- thicker than crepes but relatively thin and crispy.

[@bonitz24]

Made this last week and my daughter loved it. So easy to make, I just added a little bit of vanilla extract :)

[@rvcarbajal]

Yum! Hubby is mastering the art of making these. Yum!

[@kellyoh22]

The crepes I used to make said to mix the batter in the blender! And they always turned out so good.

[@BLamorous]

you can use the blender aswell

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw love hearing that! :) Anytime I can get people to fall back in love with cooking, is a good day for me :)

[@Janybody17]

I found your video through Pinterest and thought I would give them a try today. This is the first time I have successfully made crepes by myself. I filled them with some homemade blueberry jam and topped with powered sugar. They were fantastic. I can see this being a new go to recipe. :)

[@shirleyyang4158]

This is my all time favorite crepe recipe. I always come back to this one.

[@dhrugosai7573]

I made these Crepes for my boyfriend and he loved it so much that he calls me a chef now! I loved the recipe and it's cheaper to make it at home than to pay $11 in the restaurants! Thank you so much xx

[@reginequintos3353]

I just found your videos and I'm in love!! I've always had a liking for baking and cooking, but since I'm 13, pretty young, and don't have a home ec. class in school, I've resulted using KZbin, and I'm so happy I found your videos! When I grow up, I plan on baking a lot for my family and friends, growing my own garden, all while using your recipes as my guide! I can't wait to try these out in the kitchen :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw me too! Thanks for your continued support! :) xx

[@siobhan3399]

I made these for the first time because of your video and they came out great :) thank you for making this. I love your channel!

[@annettechoy5017]

I tried this four times and it turned out AMAZING, my whole family adores them and begs me to make them over and over again :D

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Lol! Yay!! So happy they are a hit! My family loves them too :) definitely a Saturday morning standby! :)

[@MsDivaLife]

OMG I just love you! There is nothing more relaxing than listen to your voice!!! You are just so amazing and I love all the meals you showed us ...

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you are too kind :) Thanks for the support!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

So many great things. Jam, fruit syrup, nutella and chopped peanuts would be great, butter and sugar, with lemon! Yum!

[@impressionsofaneverydaylif9584]

So so happy and thankful for this recipe!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy! :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you're so sweet to say that :) I love when my videos make people feel good :) I think my children are probably true young to truly appreciate it all, (hubby does!) but I think one day looking back they will :) And that's what matters most to me, the ability to leave them with a legacy of good food and the sweet memories that go along with those meals! :)

[@29wsani]

Amazing Beth...such a simple dish...but looks awesome and inviting...my boys will love it for breakfast as well as for dessert!

[@orlendatube]

OMG-not only do i totally love your vids (you are such a good speaker!) but i totally think this looks amazing! thanks so much beth!

[@MadmoiselleLady]

Came out perfect ....Give it a try ... I did a rainbow 🌈 color batter using gel food coloring and use vanilla sugar instead of regular plain sugar and they were perfect. My go 2 recipe from now on thank you very much for it

[@fdoeppen]

I grew up eating spinach crepes: plain crepes with sauteed spinach with garlic, onions and chopped boiled eggs. Not folded, but rolled. It was a very frugal and comforting meal when you don't have a lot of money and you want something on the healthy side.

[@brenda54097]

They were my first crapes ever to make :) Thank You Beth :)

[@LaGwenyvere]

You are absolutly right: lemon on crepes is the best filling. I love sugar and lemon, sometimes with cinnamon and orange liqueur. Also cheese and curry is a nice filling. My third option is fresh cheese with Maggie (which is similar to soy sauce).

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Me too, both EXCELLENT choices!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha ha ha ! Oh you are too kind! So glad you like the videos and recipes :) And totally fine if you watch without cooking, that too is a relaxing form of entertainment! Kinda like when I curl up on my sofa and "read" cookbooks. I love to do that too! LOl!

[@peral9728]

This is *by far* the *most* helpful tutorial I've seen. It's informative and professional, and has a unique personality. Thank you so much for this.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

You bet! Glad to be of help! :)

[@worldforeverusa]

It works! My hubby was surprised to see the perfect crepe on breakfast table ... Thanks!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Isn't that yummy? So refreshing and sweet at the same time! Glad it was a hit!

[@irenesbuildsabook]

Hi Beth! Thank you so much for posting this. Being from the Netherlands, I LOVE thin pancakes. This recipe is how I remember it as a child and can't wait to try this again this weekend with my children. I love all your videos--thank you again! And have a wonderful Valentine's Day.

ugh you make cooking videos so fun, I just love your video presence.

[@hcwz9859]

Beth your recipe has me hooked! I've been having crepes for breakfast for a whole week! And I'm obsessed with the combo of butter and lemon too, everyone else thinks it's such a strange combination but it is so tasty, thanks Beth!!!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Beeyoutifyme Ha I know isn't it?? I think that's a great combo too! But true not everyone likes it ha! :) So glad they are a hit!

[@hcwz9859]

You should see the stares i get from my family when i go for the butter and lemon, its priceless! Next beth recipe will be your ricotta pancakes :)

[@alhanoufkm687]

I made ur recipe and I found the mix very loose so I added 3 tbs flour and I added vanilla + half tsp of vinger to remove the egg smell and it worked perfectly the way I like it Thank you for sharing ur recipe I like it ❤️

I've made Crepes before. I like putting Hazelnut spread in it or fruits. I usually just put in one scoop for batter in a pan and it works.
