Loved the taste but I only ended up with half the amount the recipe said it would make. It could have been my pan, though. I don't have a crepe pan per se. I just used a small skillet. I filled them with the cheese manicotti filling from the joy of cooking cookbook. 1 batch I put spaghetti sauce on and the other I drizzled with olive oil (for the picky eater).

I used olive oil vice butter, did not let them brown, just cooked enough to handle. I tasted a small batch and enjoyed the flavor. They will compliment my filling and sauce nicely. Thank you

These are easy to make and delicious with manicotti. My first one stuck to the pan and I had to scrape it off, but I remembered from making them previously to put a small amount of butter in the pan for the first one only and that solved that. I think I only got about 14 crepes, I'm not sure if I was making them too small but next time I would double the recipe.
