directions

  • Stir together the flour and yeast in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the egg, then slowly pour in the water while stirring. Then beat until a smooth batter is achieved, the consistency of heavy cream. Set aside for 1 hour.
  • Oil a griddle or heavy frying pan and heat over a medium heat.
  • Pour about 3 tbsp of batter into the pan, rotating the pan so the batter flows evenly over the surface. Cook until bubbles appear and burst on the surface and the underside is light golden brown.
  • Serve immediately or transfer to a large plate and keep warm while frying the remaining batter. *A heat proof plate atop a pot of simmering water should work well.
  • Arrange the crepes in an overlapping circle around the plate, rather than stacking them as this makes them tough.
  • Serve warm with melted butter, and warm honey flavored with orange-flower water, trickled over.

  1. Thank you for this recipe! I was looking for a simple crepe recipe made with yeast that my Hungarian mom used to make, and this seemed the closest. I made it and it tasted just like mom's!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
