Aryan's Crepes (French Pancakes)

"Aryan worked for my grandparents when my mother was a teen. This is her crepe recipe as handed down to Mom and then to me. It's a family favorite for weekend breakfast and for dessert. We've even framed the recipe for the kitchen wall!"

directions

  • Melt shortening over medium heat in a large non-stick cooking pan or crepe pan.
  • While shortening melts, combine and whisk other ingredients. Make sure no lumps remain.
  • Add melted shortening and mix well.
  • Pour just enough to coat bottom of pan. Thin is good with crepes. Tip the pan to fully coat the pan with a thin layer of batter.
  • Flip when the crepe slides easily around the pan and has a golden color.
  • Place on plate, add strawberries and roll crepe.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

  1. I made this recipe low carb and it was great. I used flax seed instead of flour and used 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream and 1/3 cup water instead of the milk. Topped with Walden Farms no calorie/carb jelly. Yum!

I love to cook and love to bake even more! This is especially true during fall and winter months. Sharing food is a favorite hobby. Colleagues don't ever seem to mind, and relatives each have a favorite recipe. Some recipes have been in my family for generations; others are brand new ones collected from friends or invented on the fly.
