I love red velvet cake and I love crepes so now you can have both in one delicious dessert. The crepes can be prepared and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for 2-3 months. Great to have around for the holidays or for anytime you just have to have crepes!

Allow batter to set for 10 minutes.(Stir batter before you start cooking crepes) In a 10 inch skillet over medium heat, pour enough of remaining butter to lightly coat bottom of pan. Pour ¼ cup batter into pan and tilt skillet to evenly coat bottom. Cook for 10 to 15 seconds until bottom is lightly browned.

Stack crepes on waxed paper or paper towels.
