Bisquick Crepes

This is how to make crepes with Bisquick, milk and an egg. You can fill with fresh fruit and whipped cream for dessert or make savory with eggs and sausage for breakfast. This is the best Bisquick recipe tweak my kids just love.

These are the easiest crepes you will ever make! Once you have a smooth batter and a hot pan you’re set! Once you make one you will want to make a whole stack for your family this weekend. Stuff with all sorts of fillings, it is a great vessel that can be sweet or savory.

My kids think they are great to make into a savory lunch but using them for more of a dessert dish is even better right?? Especially during the summer months when you have lots of fresh berries and Cool Whip, it can be an easy throw together treat everyone will love.

We first started making these egg white tortillas which were great but it was time to go a step further. SO here we are. We love lots of choices depending on what you are craving at the time and what you want to stuff your wrap with. Just follow along friends….

When it comes to whether you make this I like to use the yellow box of Bisquick (not he heart healthy style which can be more dry) or us Krusteauz, is really up to you. I will say that they really are all the same. There’s even a Jiffy baking mix out there that works the same as all of the others. Which one do I buy? If I am honest I will tell you that “whichever one is on sale”. Seriously.

Ingredient Notes

When you add your egg it should be at room temperature and whisk before adding to make them as fluffy as possible.  You can add vanilla or extract of choice

You are going to want to start with a regular box of Bisquick to make batter with.

To make the batter you want some dairy milk whole or 2% is best so they are as moist as possible. For dairy free I prefer cashew milk since that is thickest and creamiest.

Now this will make about 4-6 rounds depending on the size you create obviously. The extract can be literally whatever you want. Personally I have loved coconut if I want to change things up, or half vanilla and half this.

Can you make Bisquick crepes without milk?

You will need a creamy liquid. Now with that said you could use lactose free milk if you needed to, any variety works. Almond and cashew are options that are thicker with a pop of flavor like vanilla that is wonderful. Even coconut milk is another option which will add a creamy tropical flavor into the mix. Using pancake mix as the base makes this easier than ever, just make sure your mix doesn’t contain dry milk.

You could add pumpkin spice for the Fall if you didn’t want to make our other Pumpkin Pancakes with Bisquick that requires puree. Both are amazing for breakfast or a brunch item when family arrives for the holidays I tell you.

How Long to Cook Crepes with Bisquick

This will vary depending on the size of the pan and thickness of the batter. However, in general it typically takes about 2-3 minutes for the very center to be cooked and no longer look like it is wet batter. That is what you are looking for.

Do you have to use a special pan to make crepes?

For the best results you will want to cook crepes in this large crepe pan. In a regular skillet it would have to be non stick + cooking spray or melted butter to ensure that it slides right out and the batter needs to be spread out so it is super thin.

How do you know when they are done?

You don’t want any of the batter to be raw. The edges will start to firm up and cook before the center will. It is important to use a low heat so the outside edges don’t burn. Once the center no longer looks wet you are ready to use a rubber spatula to gently lift up the edge, move to the center and lift up – and on to a plate.

Sweet Crepe Fillings

Fill these thin pancakes with things like whipped cream with slices of fresh fruit or savory with shredded cheese and lunchmeat or warmed leftover meat. Now you could make a fun pancake stack with these with a spread of nutella and or cream cheese frosting in between each one.

Cook down a mixture of your favorite berries with a bit of sugar to create a sweet and tangy compote to spread inside your crepes. Tangy and zesty lemon curd adds a burst of citrus flavor to your crepes, balanced by a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Spread almond butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter of your choice on the crepe, then add a dollop of your favorite huckleberry jam or jelly for a satisfying blend of textures and flavors.

Savory Crepe Fillings

A classic savory combo, slices of ham and melted cheese create a comforting and satisfying filling. Our Ham and Cheese Crepes are probably our favorites. Sautéed spinach mixed with crumbled feta cheese is a flavorful and nutritious option that works well for breakfast or brunch.

Remember, the beauty of these thin pancakes lies in their versatility. You can mix and match different fillings to create your own unique combinations. If you need Pancake Recipe Without Baking Powder you can use this recipe thinned out. Once you’ve filled them, fold each into triangles, roll, or even stack them for a layered presentation.
