Carrot Crêpes Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup finely grated carrots (raw)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for sweet version)
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt.
Stir in the grated carrots until evenly distributed.
Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes (optional but recommended for better texture).
Cook the Crêpes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it thinly.
Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden and set.
Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes with parchment paper in between.
Recipe Notes :
Texture Tip : For a smoother texture, lightly steam and puree the carrots before mixing into the batter.
Savory Twist : Add chopped herbs, cumin, or garlic powder to the batter for a savory variation.
Sweet Option : Add a dash of vanilla and a bit of honey or maple syrup to the batter, then fill with cream cheese and fruit.
Storage : Store leftover crêpes in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
Serving Ideas : Fill with ricotta and spinach, scrambled eggs, or nut butter and banana slices for a tasty meal.
