Notes

  1. *The original recipe had 1 cup of granulated sugar. After several comments I tested and edited the recipe to cut the sugar amount to 1/2 cup. You can also start with 1/4 cup if you want even less of a sweet flavor.
  2. *Or at least 15 minutes to let the bubbles settle.
  3. *Depending how full you fill each crepe you may have extra cream cheese filling. You can cut that portion of the recipe in half, or double the crepe part, if you need to feed more people.
