Ingredients

For the Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (plus more for pan)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Sweet Fillings (Suggestions)

  • Whipped cream (homemade or canned)
  • Sliced strawberries, bananas, or kiwi
  • Ice cream (vanilla, matcha, or chocolate)
  • Chocolate syrup or Nutella
  • Custard or pudding
  • Crushed Oreos or cereal bits

Instructions

1. Make the Crepe Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Gradually add in flour and whisk until smooth.
  • Stir in melted butter and let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

2. Cook the Crepes

  • Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread evenly.
  • Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook 30 more seconds.
  • Repeat and stack crepes with parchment paper between them.

3. Fill and Roll

  • Place crepe flat on a surface.
  • Add whipped cream and fruit (or other fillings) in the center or off to one side.
  • Fold into a triangle or roll into a cone shape using parchment paper to support.

Tips for Perfect Japanese Crepes

  • Let the batter rest to avoid bubbles and ensure silky texture.
  • Use a nonstick pan or crepe maker for even cooking.
  • Don’t overfill — Japanese crepes are compact and easy to hold.
  • Add custard or jam for flavor depth beneath the whipped cream.
  • Chill ingredients if making ahead to avoid soggy crepes.

Savory Filling Ideas

  • Ham and cheese with mayo
  • Tuna salad and cucumber
  • Teriyaki chicken with lettuce
  • Egg salad and corn

Make It Your Way

  • Vegan version: Use plant-based milk, egg substitute, and vegan whipped cream
  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour blend
  • Low sugar: Skip whipped cream and use fresh fruits + yogurt

FAQs

Q: Can I make Japanese crepes in advance?
A: Yes! Store cooked crepes in the fridge for up to 2 days. Fill just before serving to avoid sogginess.

Q: What’s the difference between Japanese crepes and French crepes?
A: Japanese crepes are often served cone-style with whimsical fillings and a chewy texture, while French crepes are typically plated flat.

Q: Do I need special tools?
A: No! A nonstick pan, ladle, and spatula are all you need.

Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect for dessert bars or DIY crepe stations
  • Serve with iced matcha or Japanese milk tea
  • Use seasonal fruits like mango or peach for variety
