These crêpes are light, tender, and come together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have. A cast-iron skillet gives them a beautifully even cook and just the right amount of golden color. Perfect for sweet or savory fillings, they’re an easy way to make any morning feel special.

Ingredients

    blank

    • Lancaster No. 8 Griddle

    blank

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 cup milk

    • 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for the pan)

    • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweet crêpes)

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)

    Directions

    1. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and pourable (thin like heavy cream). Let rest 10–20 minutes if you have time—this improves texture.

    2. Heat your No. 8 cast iron griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter and wipe excess with a paper towel.

    3. Pour about ¼ cup batter into the center and immediately swirl the pan to spread thin.

    4. Cook 45–60 seconds until edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook 15–30 seconds more.

    5. Repeat until the process is done. Stack finished crepes on a plate. Re-butter lightly as needed.

    These crêpes are light, tender, and come together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have. A cast-iron skillet gives them a beautifully even cook and just the right amount of golden color. Perfect for sweet or savory fillings, they’re an easy way to make any morning feel special.

    German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

    German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

    There’s something wonderfully simple about a plate of homemade German pancakes. They’re thin, tender, and lightly crisp around the edges, less fluffy than an American pancake and perfect for stacking, folding, or topping with whatever you have on hand. For this version, we’re keeping things classic: a simple, lightly sweetened pancake cooked in butter on the Lancaster No. 8 Griddle, then topped with a warm berry compote made with fresh lemon and a touch of vanilla.

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    This is a classic cherry pie at heart: a buttery, flaky crust, plenty of juicy cherries, and a sweet-tart filling that bubbles into the crust as it bakes. The little twist is a splash of red wine in the filling, it doesn't overpower the cherries, but adds a subtle richness and brings out their deeper, almost jammy flavor. Baked in cast iron, the crust turns beautifully golden and crisp while the filling bubbles around the edges.
