storage/reheating

FAQs
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the crepes in advance and store them in the fridge with parchment paper between each crepe to prevent sticking. Reheat them on a skillet or in the microwave before serving.
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen berries work fine for the filling. Just be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the crepes.
Can I make these crepes gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend to make these crepes gluten-free.
Can I freeze these crepes?
Yes, crepes freeze well. Stack them with parchment paper between each crepe and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. When ready to use, thaw and reheat in a skillet.
How can I make the crepes fluffier?
To make the crepes a bit fluffier, try adding a tablespoon of baking powder to the batter, though this will make them thicker than traditional crepes.
