Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes! The crepe batter can rest in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This actually improves texture and makes the crepes more tender.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Absolutely. Thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture in the cream filling.

How do I prevent crepes from sticking?

Use a non-stick skillet and lightly brush with butter before cooking each crepe. Keep the heat medium to avoid browning too quickly.

Can I prepare crepes in advance for a brunch?

Yes, cook the crepes and store them unfilled in an airtight container in the fridge. Fill them just before serving for best texture.
