1 piece (medium) of Thin Crepe (35 g) has 59 calories. That works out to 170 calories per 100 g. It contains 9.1 g of carbs, 1.9 g of protein, 1.6 g of fat and 0.2 g of fiber. Its 1.4 µg of Biotin covers 5% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A thin crepe is made by spreading a loose batter of flour, eggs and milk in a thin layer across a hot pan. It comes from France, where crêpes are served both sweet and savoury, and its soft, flexible texture makes it easy to fold or roll around a filling.
Enjoy it for breakfast with fruit, yoghurt or a little jam, or serve it as a dessert with chocolate or lemon and sugar. In France, savoury versions may be filled with cheese, ham or vegetables; elsewhere, fillings often reflect local tastes. A thin crepe is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with 26 g per 100 g. For a more sustaining meal, add a protein-rich filling such as eggs or yoghurt; fruit makes a lighter topping.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A thin crepe is made by whisking flour, milk, and eggs into a smooth, pourable batter. Pour a small amount into a preheated lightly greased pan, then tilt the pan so the batter spreads into a thin layer.
Thin crepe batter should be smooth and runny enough to spread across the pan when you tilt it. If it sits in a thick mound, whisk in a little more milk; if it tears easily while cooking, the batter may be too thin.
Yes, resting thin crepe batter helps the flour absorb liquid and gives the batter a more even texture. Cover it while it rests, then stir it before cooking; add a little milk if it has thickened too much.
A flat, nonstick skillet or a dedicated crepe pan works well for a thin crepe. Heat it over medium heat and grease it lightly; a pan with a smooth, even surface makes it easier to spread the batter and release the crepe.
To stop a thin crepe from sticking, preheat the pan and apply a very light coating of butter or oil before adding the batter. Avoid trying to lift it too soon; the edges should loosen as the underside finishes cooking.
A thin crepe can turn rubbery when it is cooked for too long or at excessive heat. Cook it just until the surface looks set, turn it once, and remove it promptly; keeping cooked crepes covered also helps prevent them from drying out.
Flip a thin crepe only after its underside has set and the edges begin to lift from the pan. Slide a thin spatula underneath, support the middle, and turn it in one smooth motion rather than pulling at a soft edge.
A thin crepe works with both sweet and savory fillings. Try fruit, jam, or chocolate for a sweet version, or cheese, cooked vegetables, and eggs for a savory meal; add moist fillings just before serving so the crepe stays intact.
Yes, thin crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated in a covered container with parchment between them. Reheat them briefly in a skillet or microwave, or warm a stack covered so the crepes stay soft instead of drying at the edges.
Yes, thin crepes freeze well when cooled and separated with parchment paper. Place the stack in an airtight freezer-safe container, then thaw it in the refrigerator and warm the crepes gently in a skillet before serving.
