These crepes not only win you over with color but by sneaking vegetables into a favorite dish. The mild spinach flavor doesn't dominate but adds freshness to the batter, which serves as an excellent base for any savory filling (cheese, ham, sour cream).

Instructions

1

Sauté spinach and crushed garlic in a little oil until wilted. Let cool, squeeze out excess liquid, and chop finely.

Tip: Spinach has high water content; if not squeezed, it will water down your batter.
2

Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, and milk until smooth. Fold in the spinach.

Tip: Add milk gradually to avoid lumps.
3

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Tip: Resting allows gluten strands to relax, making the crepes more elastic.
4

Cook crepes in a hot, oiled pan on both sides.

Tip: The first crepe often sticks as the pan's heat distribution isn't even yet.

Recipe FAQ

Why do the crepes tear?
You likely didn't rest the batter (flour needs time to hydrate), or added too much spinach, weakening the structure.
