Pancake Mix Crepes. Crepes are made from an extremely thin batter. The batter consists of pancake mix (I used Krusteaz), milk, an egg, and vanilla. Whisk until there are no lumps left.
You can have Pancake Mix Crepes using 4 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.
Ingredients of Pancake Mix Crepes
- It’s 1 cup of pancake mix.
- It’s 1 1/2 cup of milk or water (based on box instructions).
- It’s 1 of large egg.
- You need 1 teaspoon of vanilla (omit for savory).
This will help save you a lot of time making two different mixtures if you're having guests over. Add some extra water to your pancake mix to get a runny batter that's perfect for making crepes. Add water gradually, stirring until smooth. Add eggs and butter and continue to stir until smooth.
Pancake Mix Crepes instructions
Whisk together ingredients until there are no lumps transfer batter to a pourable container.
Using a nonstick skillet, heat to medium high and either spray with cooking spray (which I hate) or thinly glaze the pan with melted butter. Do this between EVERY crepe.
When pan is fully heated, pour about a 1/4 cup of batter (more for a large skillet) and tilt the pan around in a swirl until the edges of the pan are reached. * ps the first crepe always comes out a dud so dont give up!.
As the crepe cooks it will bubble a lot, that's normal.
When the edges curl and the center is no longer soaking wet you are ready to flip.
Using a wide spatula gently slide under crepes and flip gently.
Cook a minute longer. Make sure you crepe can slide around in the pan. The slide the crepe off to a plate. Reglaze the pan with spray or butter and repeat!.
Allow to cool before stuffing like taco or immediately fold traditional crepe style and serve.
To make crepes with pancake mix that excludes dairy, use half a cup of the mix and half a cup of all-purpose flour. One of the best tools for making crepes is the right pan. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. Make sure all the lumps are gone and then pour back into measuring jug.
