Easy Bavarian Crêpes Recipe 🥞🍓

Let’s get down to the good stuff — a simple, affordable, and delicious recipe that brings Bavarian crêpes right to your table!

Ingredients:

For the Crêpes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Bavarian Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries 🍓

  • Powdered sugar

  • Whipped cream

  • Drizzle of chocolate or caramel

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crêpe Batter:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, and melted butter.

  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. The batter should be thin and smooth.

  4. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.

2. Cook the Crêpes:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.

  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around to spread evenly.

  3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

  4. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

3. Make the Bavarian Cream Filling:

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and half of the sugar. Heat until it starts to steam but not boil.

  2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cornstarch, and the remaining sugar until smooth.

  3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until it thickens (about 5 minutes).

  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool completely.

  6. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cooled custard.

4. Fill and Serve:

  1. Spread a generous spoonful of Bavarian cream onto each crêpe.

  2. Fold the crêpe in half or roll it up.

  3. Top with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate for extra indulgence!

Why This Recipe is Equitable and Fun

Making crêpes at home is not only fun but also a great way to stretch your grocery budget. The ingredients are simple, affordable, and likely already in your pantry. Plus, crêpes are incredibly versatile, allowing you to get creative with whatever fruits, jams, or spreads you have on hand. It’s a great opportunity to use up leftovers or repurpose ingredients in a delicious way!
