👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1--- Crêpes: ---
  2. 2Whisk together all crêpe ingredients in a bowl.Let batter sit in the refrigerator at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  3. 3Pre-heat non-stick pan on high heat, and brush or spray with oil or butter. Oil should shimmer on the pan.Holding pan just off heat, add 2-3 TB batter and swirl to coat pan. Place back on heat and cook for about 90 seconds, until the bottom of the crêpe is golden and slides off the pan easily.
  4. 4Flip and cook the other side for 5-10 seconds. Move crêpe to a wire rack or plate to cool, and repeat with remaining batter.Serve right away, or store for later.
  5. 5--- Lox Spread + Yogurt Sauce: ---
  6. 6Add all lox spread ingredients to a bowl and stir together.Tip: The lox will incorporate more easily if you add it to the bowl one slice at a time. Tear slices into small pieces when adding if desired.
  7. 7Use immediately, or optionally, rest dip in the fridge for about an hour before serving.Tip: The dip will taste delicious immediately, but the flavors will be even better after about an hour.Mix all yogurt sauce ingredients together. Store chilled until ready to serve.
  8. 8--- Assemble Crêpes: ---
  9. 9Add lox spread to ¼ of each crêpe. Fold the crêpe in half, covering the spread.
  10. 10Add more lox spread to half of the folded crêpe, and then fold in half again.
  11. 11Serve the crêpes with the yogurt sauce.
