Step-by-step

- Non stick pan worked best for me. Spray with cooking spray. (I used olive oil cooking spray)
- When the skillet is hot, pour half the mix in the pan, move pan around the get it to cover the bottom or the size you want it. Make it spread evenly.
- When it is done around the edges use a spatula to slip it over. It shouldn't stick to the pan if it's ready to flip!
- FLIP and let it cook for a few more seconds. It should be done quickly.
- Fill as you desire.
- FP- No cream cheese in the filling. Up to 1 cup of berries or up to ½ cup if it's blueberries.

Another day, I might opt for a simple banana filling, offering a creamy, naturally sweet alternative. The possibilities are genuinely endless.
I've experimented with different variations to cater to my family's preferences. My older kids love the cream cheese filling, a decadent touch that elevates the simple crepe into something special. For my younger ones, I often make a simpler version, focusing on fresh fruit and skipping the cream cheese altogether. Everyone's happy, which, let's face it, is the ultimate goal in the mornings!
