These were so easy to put together, but I found the mixture a little watery when cooking. This made the crepes hard to turn around in the pan, but then again I made huge 20 cms crepes and I think they are only meant to be for small crepes. However the whole family enjoyed them for desert, we fill them with organic apple puree and cream. Yum! Thanks I'm Pat for posting a wonderful recipe.

The taste of these crepes are amazing. The lemon taste is just perfect. It was very yummy with lemon juice and icing sugar. I just had lots of problem to flip them. I'm used to do thick pancakes. Thin crepes is not my thing. That's why I don't have a photo to post LOL Thanks I'mPat :) Made for the Australian Recipe Swap for November 2010
