  I started making these a few years ago, have eaten my fair share in cafes, restaurants, and catered events, and have learned a lot along the way.  My recipe has not changed, but my method has improved.  Consider your ultimate guide to craps!

What are craps?

Crepes are thin and delicate French-style pancakes made without any leavening.  When made correctly, they are thin like lace with irresistible buttered crisp edges.  Craps are popular at restaurants and catering events and I have seen crepe stations at wedding receptions too!  Although they are usually offered as a breakfast or brunch option, craps are welcome at any time of the day, including dinner or dessert.  Filled with anything from whipped cream and berries to meats, sauces, and vegetables, don't eat crepes pickles while you enjoy them.  

  Crepe dishes vary, but most include flour, liquid (milk and/or water), and salt.  Restaurants usually make them with a special pan, but a regular skeleton works in any home kitchen.

  Why are they favorite?  Craps are popular because their versatility makes them FUNs to eat.  Rolled or folded, you can stuff and top them with virtually anything.  Nutella, whipped cream, and berries are a common option, but savory filler also works.  Fold or roll them and enjoy trying different fillings and flavors.  You are not limited!

  Overview: how to make craps

 Melt butter: Melt some butter in the microwave or on the stove.  Let it cool for a few minutes before using it in the batter.  (Otherwise, you could scramble eggs.)

  Combine all ingredients in a blender: Combine cold melted butter and all remaining ingredients in a blender.  A blender works perfectly to lubricate the batter as it cuts that dough completely into the wet ingredients.  If you do not have a blender, just use a mixing bowl and whisk.  I use my ninja blender. 

  Cool the batter: Cook the crepe batter for at least 30-60 minutes before cooking.  This time in the refrigerator is critical to the taste, texture, and success of your crepes.  Use this time in cleaning and preparing your skeleton.  You can also refrigerate the batter overnight, so it is ready to cook the next day.

  Heat the butter and a small pan: Butter the pan as usual and place the pan between each crepe to add ghee.  Although professional chefs may use a special crepe pan, I think there is a small 8-inch skillet (affiliate link *) that works perfectly at home.  If you do not have a small skeleton, use a larger one but make sure you keep the craps.

  Cook one crepes at a time: The longest part of this recipe stands atop the stove and cook them once over medium heat.  Use only 3-4 tablespoons of crepe per batter.  (I usually use 3 tablespoons.) The less you use and the larger you grow the crepe, the thinner it will be.  As you can see in my video tutorial above, I rotate the pan so that the batter goes as far as it can go.  If you don't do this, your craps will be much thicker and have a tortuous taste.  Still tasty, but very different.  Flip the crepe over and cook the other side as well.

  Serve with Favorite Stuffing: I like to serve them hot with cold whipped cream and fresh berries.  Keep scrolling because I have lots of filling ideas listed below for you.

  How to make craps ahead of time

  You can make crepe batter up to 1 day in advance.  Seal tightly in your blender or pour into a mixing bowl and cover tightly, then prepare crepes the next day.  Craps are best enjoyed, but you can make a batch and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.  Heat in the microwave or arrange on a lined baking sheet (they can overlap).  Cover with aluminum foil and heat in a 275 ° F (135 ° C) degree oven for 10 minutes. 

Main material

 The recipe is written below, but you must understand why each ingredient is used. It is a delicate batter, so replacement is not recommended.

 Unsalted Butter: Butter is a major ingredient. Take extra butter for the skillet.

 All-Purpose Flour: Flour is another important ingredient, which provides the overall composition. I have not tried any successful gluten-free option, but let me know if you do!

 Granulated sugar: These are mildly sweet - all you need is 1 teaspoon.

 Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the taste.

 Whole milk and water: Crepe batter requires liquid. All made a lame using water and lacked crepe while using all milk created a heavy crepe. For the best texture, use a mixture of both. believe me.

 Eggs: As they are doing in batter, eggs provide structure and bind all the ingredients together.

 Vanilla Extract: Adds Flavor - You'll smell the vanilla as you cook them on the stove! Feel free to leave it if you make savory style craps.

 By themselves, crepes are not very flavored. So the texture is important (keep them thin!).

 Craps success tips

 Chill the batter: I mentioned it above and included it in the recipe written below, but it is worth repeating. A secret for BEST craps is to refrigerate the crepe batter for at least 30-60 minutes and up to 1 day. This time in the refrigerator increases the taste of the batter and, more importantly, gives the dough a chance to fully hydrate.

 Butter the pan between each crepe: The best part of the crepes are thin, delicate, and butter crisp edges. To achieve this, butter the pan between EACH crepe. Sounds like a pain, but just grab a stick of butter and coat the pan before adding more batter. You don't regret it

 Rotate the pan. Heat the batter and put it in the center of the buttered pan. Lift the pan and rotate so that the batter expands as far as it can go. (The thinner the crepe you can get, the better the texture I trust.) This important technique is very easy to hear and you can see me in the video tutorial above.

 Crepe fillings and toppings

 Craps are a blank canvas for many different fillers and toppings. Although I'm all about going with Nutella and banana or apple pie filling and toppings like melted peanut butter, sometimes it's good to keep things simple! My favorite pictured is the whipped cream flavored with fresh orange juice. Throw in a splash of orange liqueur, even if something is lying around you. Whip in medium peaks before filling or topping your craps. I also serve these with tons of fresh berries. Mildly sweet, ripped of fruit and citrus is a welcome refresher! With such a simple accompaniment, craps
