I love crepes but can never get them out of the pan in one piece! I’ll have to try your technique.

I believe it is both healthy + happy to make and to eat all these crepes. With nutella would be one of my choices too.

Seriously over the top cute. My teens were looking at them. I can’t imagine if I served them such cuteness. They would laugh indeed. I love the swipe of Nutella inside. I just recently featured crepes but ooooh with the Nutella would have been a good addition.

I make crepes or pancakes with my daughter on weekends. Since I am not a big fan of non stick pans and own none in my kitchen, I have a tough time making them as most chefs and recipes call for. I got myself the crepe stick that pros use, still it does not come out as thin. Is there any other way to came perfect crepes with cast iron pans.

Srimathi: It’s difficult for me to comment on your situation as I don’t know (and see) how and what you had done. Maybe you could give my recipe a try and see how it goes. 😉

Nice presentation indeed. I looked up the web trying to find some filling recipes that can fit a 2.5 year old toddler in terms of more nutrition balance and also to please their taste buds but in vain. Do you have any recommendation other than the regular toast spread and the fruit (no protein)?

Lynn: Thanks!! Maybe you can try adding cheese, cooked chicken, cooked fish (salmon), baked beans or veggie (spinach). Make some mushroom soup or pumpkin soup (please refer to the recipes in my blog), and use this crepe as dip. Hope it helps!

Hey, I just realised the British pancake is quite similar to this! I did a post on it. It is quite a watery batter. =)

Thanks for sharing your recipes. May I know if the batter is runny or watery? I find mine watery and the whole meal flour doesn’t mix well with the batter. It is like ‘sand’ with water kind of effect. Am I doing it right? Is whole meal flour the same as whole wheat flour?
Thanks!!Reply

Mei: Sometimes, wholemeal flour and whole wheat flour can be referred to the same flour because the term “wholemeal” is used in UK whereas “whole wheat” is used in US. However, in Singapore or Malaysia, wholemeal flour is different than whole wheat flour in term of the texture. The former refers to soft whole wheat flour (the texture is similar to this link: http://www.paradisefarmorganics.co.uk/wholemeal-flour-35-p.asp) and the latter refers to hard whole wheat flour (it is coarser with more bits of bran and germ similar to this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teenytinyturkey/3445457040/in/photostream/). May I know which type did you use?
