I loved eating crepes when I was a child, even without any filling in them. I was excited for every crepe that came out of the pan a little deformed, as I could eat the torn pieces. Here I’ve created a basic vegan crepe recipe that reminds me of the non-vegan crepes of my childhood. These are also just as delicious on their own.

As for the basic crepe filling goes the classic has to be strawberry jam. Here I suggest 4 different ways of fillings and all include strawberry jam. The first filling is only with strawberry jam, the second one is a combination of a strawberry jam and my vegan cottage cheese, the third one is strawberry jam and hazelnut butter and the fourth one is strawberry jam and vegan Nutella.

- 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) lemon juice
- 1/16 tsp vanilla powder

Instructions
Filling:
- If you're using vegan cottage cheese with strawberry jam, make vegan cottage cheese 12 hours in advance.
- If you are using homemade vegan Nutella filling with strawberry jam, make vegan Nutella first.
Crepes:
- Mix all ingredients for the crepes batter with a whisk or in a blender.
- Melt 1/3 tsp of vegan butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat and spill 1/4 of the crepes mixture over it. Rotate the pan with the handle so that the mixture spreads evenly around the pan.
- Wait until the top of the crepe is no longer wet then flip it over. After the other side is cooked, flip it once more and cook for a little bit. Transfer crepe to a larger plate.
- Turn the heat to low, add 1/8 tsp of vegan butter and rotate the pan so that it spreads evenly around. Add the second 1/4 of the crepes mixture. Rotate the pan with the handle so that the mixture spreads evenly in the pan. Turn the heat back to medium high.
- First side of the second crepe will be cooked much faster than the first side of the first crepe because the pan is much hotter. When there are no more wet patches on top of the crepe flip it over and cook the other side. Transfer crepe to a larger plate.
- Repeat the process another two times so that you get 4 crepes overall.
Filling:
- If you're making crepes only with strawberry jam, spread 4 tsp of your favourite strawberry jam on top of every crepe then roll them and place them on a plate.
- If you're making crepes with strawberry jam and vegan cottage cheese, mix together ingredients for the vegan cottage cheese filling. Spread 2 tsp of vegan cottage cheese mixture on one half and 2 tsp of strawberry jam on the other half of every crepe. Then roll the crepes and place them on a plate.
- If you are making crepes with strawberry jam and hazelnut butter, spread 2 tsp of hazelnut butter on one half and 2 tsp of strawberry jam on the other half of every crepe. Then roll the crepes and place them on a plate.
- If you are making crepes with strawberry jam and vegan Nutella, spread 2 tsp of vegan Nutella on one half and 2 tsp of strawberry jam on the other half of every crepe. Then roll the crepes and place them on a plate.
To decorate (optional):
- Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
