Instructions
1
Begin by preheating an 8-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly greasing it with a small amount of oil.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, sugar, water, and beaten eggs. Use an eggbeater or whisk to mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3
Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot skillet, immediately tilting the pan to ensure the batter covers the entire bottom of the skillet evenly.
4
Cook the crepe until the edges start to dry out and the center sets, approximately 1-2 minutes. If desired, carefully flip the crepe to lightly brown the other side for additional flavor.
5
Once cooked, remove the crepe from the skillet and continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
6
To serve, choose your favorite fillings such as fresh fruit, chocolate pudding, or a scoop of ice cream. Fill each crepe, then roll or fold them over before serving.
7
For meal prep: To make ahead, wrap the cooked crepes in aluminum foil to keep them fresh. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
8
To thaw frozen crepes, heat the foil packet in an oven preheated to 300°F for 10-15 minutes, or alternatively, wrap them in paper towels and microwave for quick heating.
