Pancakes like crepes are a kids' dream! My grandchildren generally adore pancakes, and the ones with crispy edges cause incredible delight in the little ones: it is these edges that they gnaw right away, and only then proceed to the middle.
Another beauty of crepes is their versatility. The recipe initially assumes the presence of additives. The thing is that crepes are prepared without a gram of sugar. That is, crepes are a basic dish that can be used both for desserts and for snacks. True, the crepes themselves are swept off the plate before I even have time to cook even a dozen.
I especially like poppy seed crepes. Poppy seeds add a pleasant flavor to pancakes. And in appearance, such flatbreads seem more appetizing. In addition, poppy is a neutral additive. These crepes can be wrapped with mushroom filling or served with a sweet sauce.

The product is quite high in calories, so it is recommended to eat it in moderation and preferably in the first half of the day. This way, you can enjoy pancakes without consequences for your figure.

These products are enough to feed 8 people:
- 100-gram stack of flour with a slide;
- a couple of tablespoons of butter;
- three 100-gram shots of milk;
- a pair of chicken eggs;
- a little sugar;
- a pinch of salt.
It will take you a little over an hour to prepare the dish:

- Cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least half an hour. This proofing will make the pancakes airy.
- Heat a frying pan, grease it with any odorless fat and bake pancakes in it.
