My first attempt at making my own crepes.
Oh, crap!
Did I just call those crepes? They're so seriously crappy, I couldn't spread them super thin and I couldn't make them round. They're in the shape of...giant amoebas.
Yikes!
I used this recipe. The recipe's pretty good and easy to follow, so I believe the problem was me, myself and I ^_^'
Next time I'll consider adding more salt/sugar to the batter to give it a touch more flavor.
Now the filling...
I like savory crepes, so I built my filling starting with oyster sauce and sriracha spicy sauce.
Add some market bought char siu...
Shredded cheeses (I normally use mozzarella and parmesan) freshly chopped cilantro...
Flip...
...and fold.
And bite the amoeba.
Despite looking horrrrible, it tasted pretty damn good.
What else did I put in the rest of my

I know exactly how u feel man! Love the use of char siew actually.
wow what a great idea, that looks sooooo good...
Love your savory crepe, must taste yummy.
I've never successfully made crepes either. They are WAY harder than they look! But when you fill them with delicious things...who really cares!
well they looked pretty damn good to me....i think im going to make some tonight....
How fun! Char siew filled crepe, yum :). Shapes don't matter sometimes, as long as it tastes good?
I have a tip for you!
I use a ladle full of batter and pour it into the pan, then I lift the pan and tilt it so the entire bottom is covered. That way it is paper thin and a circle (as long as your pan is circular!)
Your crepes look delicious! I usually fill mine with fresh raspberries and a bit of chocolate syrup ^.^
very interesting combo! YUM!
The recipe looks ok, though I had great success with Lily Ng's version. I would suggest sieving the mixture, and letting it rest a couple of hours. The first 2-3 crepes are usually not good, so just eat as is or feed it to the dog. When making the crepes, lift the pan off the heat, pour in the mixture and swirl it around before putting the pan back on the heat. Crepes keep well in the fridge, and also freezes well too. I like mine the Parisian way with fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar.
