- 1 Tablespoon (sugar);
- 1 Teaspoon (ground cinnamon, optional);
- Fillings of your choice.
How to make sweet crepes:
- Blend liquid ingredients with sugar in a blender;
- Transfer to a bowl;
- Gradually add flour, mixing until smooth;
- Preheat non-stick skillet;
- When hot, add batter using a ladle;
- Spread batter in circular motions;
- When edges lift, add filling;
- Fold in half twice to make a fan shape;

Pro Tips:
For best results, keep batter thin enough to cook one side only. If too thick, flip to cook both sides. This batch yields about 4 crepes. Try fillings like chocolate, strawberry jam, honey, caramel sauce, or any favorite option.
A Brief History of Crepes:
Originating from Brittany, France, crepes date back to the 12th century with buckwheat flour “galettes” (flat cakes). The white flour crepes we know today emerged in the early 1900s when wheat and sugar became more accessible. These delicate crepes use eggs, milk, and butter for extra fluffiness (Source: Wikipedia).
