      Thank you for a very easy to make healthy alternative to regular crepes. This is now my official crepe recipe.

      This recipe worked really well. The second time I tried to make it I used Egg Beaters and had trouble with the crepes getting too crispy. So, I added a couple more tablespoons of melted butter. (I wouldn't recommend that substitution to others though - stick with the original recipe.)

      Buttery, tender, and easy to work with! I melted the butter before trying to incorporate it and added 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and an extra tablespoon of flour. I will definitely make these again, next time with pumpkin pie spice in the crepe and a maple cream cheese filling.

      These are easy to whip up and so delicious! I sometimes slather with butter and maple syrup. Other times make a fruit sauce for the top with whipped cream, and other times I just slather with butter and sprinkle with confectionary sugar or cinnamon and sugar. Delicious any old way! Thanks - Dave

      I made a double batch of this recipe to use in manicotti and followed the recipe exactly as written. The whole wheat flour gives a nutty taste to the crepes, and though I don't think it mattered for my final product, I have to disagree with other reviewers who said there wasn't a noticeable difference between "traditional" and whole wheat crepes. My picky eaters went for the manicotti, draped with bechamel and marinara, but preferred my usual recipe for dessert crepes with only lemon and sugar.

      These were, for better or worse, probably the most tender crepes I have ever made. They were melt-in-your-mouth delicious and helped me keep the manicotti from being dense and heavy, which I loved. They were also sort of a challenge in the pan, which I didn't love. They ripped easily and required a very light touch when filling them - just spreading the cheese mix onto the crepes was likely to tear them.

      Overall, I am likely to make these again to try to get more whole grains into my family's diet, but they won't be my only crepe recipe. And next time, I'll make sure to use a feather-light touch from the get-go to minimize "kitchen taster" mistakes.

      I added just a pinch of vanilla extract, and a packet of Sun Crystals. I won't be making regular crepes again because this tastes just the same.

      I love that these use whole wheat and yet were as yummy as white flour crepes. We did not let the mix stand and had no issues. Thank you for sharing!

      These were easy and delicious! I cooked these on a griddle and just had to use my spatula to keep them in place and more circular. I will definitely be using this recipe to make crepes again! Made for ZWT5, Dining Daredevils.

      I made this for lunch today and thought they were pretty good. The butter didn't completely dissolve, so next time I'll melt it first. We had them with Gruyere cheese and some for dessert with grand manier and cinnamon sugar and Nutella.They were nice and fluffy. Made for zwt5.

      These were really good and really easy to put together. Not hard to cook up, even though I was afraid they were going to be. I just made them plain and sprinkled a little sugar/cinnamon mixture over them and we all scrummed them up! Thanks! Made for ZWT5 - Jammin Java Jivers

      These were pretty good! The reasons I gave these a 4: the butter did not seem to blend completely... There were tiny chunks of butter in the batter, even after beating the mixture and letting it set. Did anyone else experience this? Also, it's not necessary to butter the pan as the butter in the batter made the crepes easy to lift off the pan.

      WOW!!! THese are INCREDIBLE!! And good for you! Low Calorie, whole wheat...can't get better than that! I didn't have an hour to wait for the batter to sit so I blendid it all in my Magic Bullet and popped it in the freezer for 20 minutes which worked like a charm! The crepes came out beyond perfect! And so delicious!!!

      These didn't turn out that well for me. My batter settled a lot during the hour it set. The first 3 crepes turned into scrambled pancakes and the last 5 or so (I only got about 8 out of the batter) were way too heavy on the whole wheat flour and were tough. Not sure if my method was off, but I would not recommend this recipe for beginners.

      These crepes are fantastic. I made most of them with a crepe maker. They turned out light and airy with a hint of butter flavour. I made a few in a frying pan, and while they weren't as thin as those made with the crepe maker they still were wonderful. I had no problems with sticking using either method. I didn't even grease the frying pan.
