Basic crepes ratios

Crepes, savory or sweet, are a culinary wonder and should be practiced as often as feasible. I always have to look up ingredient ratios for no-egg crepes, so let us record them.



The trick is to blend the ingredients in a blender and pour them into a hot pan straight from the blender.

Oat crepes:

  • 1 cup quick oats; use the blender to grind them
  • 1/2 TBS ground flax seed
  • 1.5 cups of liquid
  • butter or oil for cooking
Buckwheat crepes:

  • 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 TBS ground flax seed
  • 1.5 cups of liquid
  • butter or oil for cooking
Classic wheat crepes:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • pinch of salt, pinch of sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4-1/3 cup unsalted butter
Classic crepes a-la Jacques Pepin:
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour.
  • 2 large Eggs.
  • 1/2 cup milk.
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted, plus 1 teaspoon for the pan.
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar.
  • 1/3 cup Cold Water.
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil.
