Crepes aka Mummu’s Finnish Skinny Pancakes

Crepes aka Mummu’s Finnish Skinny Pancakes

My Mom makes excellent crepes. Light, crispy edges and just a hit of cinnamon. Warning: the “skinny” has nothing to do with calories because they need butter to make them tender. Don’t use margarine…please just don’t. The secret to these delicious crepes is a smooth
