"Les Crêpes Bas de Carb" (Low Carb Crepes)

"Les Crêpes Bas de Carb" French for "Low Carb Crepes"




Delicious Crepes and Two Meal Creations

 
This recipe is so awesome because it can be made for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack and of course dessert!!! So many options for this little guy ;). The crepe (Cousin of our friend "the pancake") can be made several different ways but this version is made with egg whites, no dairy, no butter, no flour, no sugar and is low carb (but of course!). When I made these my mind was going wild with the ideas and variations for such a simple little creation! Get your whisking arm ready friends because we are going to stir up a storm of deliciousness! To the Kitchen!

- Heat your Pan on Medium - High Heat
- Once Pan is hot spray generously with PAM (No Stick!!!)
- Measure out a 1/4 C of our batter and pour into the heated pan (Crepe Should be 6-8" in Diameter)
