Method
 

Preparation
  1. Can I make the crepe batter in advance?Yes, you can make the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Stir before using.
  2. What if I don’t have vanilla sugar?Use 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
  3. Can I use whole wheat flour?Yes, though the texture will be slightly denser. You can do a 50/50 mix.
  4. How do I prevent crepes from sticking?Use a non-stick pan and lightly oil the surface between crepes.
  5. Can I freeze the crepes?Yes. Stack with parchment in between, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months.
  6. Is there a dairy-free version?You can use almond milk and dairy-free butter, but results may vary slightly.
  7. How long can I store the custard?Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Stir before using.
  8. Can I use the custard for other desserts?Absolutely! It’s perfect for cream puffs, eclairs, or as cake filling.
  9. What if my custard is too thin?Return to heat and cook a bit longer, whisking constantly until thickened.
  10. Can I make this without a mixer?Yes, but whisk vigorously by hand, especially for the custard, to avoid lumps.
