How To Fold Crepes (7 easy ways)

There are many ways of folding crepes. Learn the most popular ways!

#1 Roll them up! (crepe roll-ups)

This works great for sweet and savory crepes. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spread your filling in a thin layer all over the crepe
• roll it up from the left to the right side

#2 Fold over

This is great for small crepes or if your filling is chunky. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spoon some of the filling in the middle of the crepe, from top to bottom
• fold the left and right sides towards the middle, the folds should overlap slightly

#3 Fold them into triangles

Triangles taste better? could be! I like to fold sweet crepes into triangles. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spread your filling in a thin layer all over the crepe
• fold the crepe in half, then again in half

#4 Small triangles

This fold is similar to the triangular fold shown above. It’s great for sweet crepes. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spread your filling in a thin layer all over the crepe
• fold the crepe in half
• fold over the top edge of the crepe to make a 3-inch (8cm) wide triangle, repeat this two times more

#5 Pocket fold

This fold makes great portable crepes that are easy to take in a hand and are also great for lunchboxes. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spoon your filling in the middle of the crepe
• fold the left and right sides towards the middle, the folds should overlap slightly
• now fold the upper and bottom sides towards the middle, creating a square 'pocket’
• I would recommend pan-frying it so that the fillind won’t come out

#6 Roll them up like a burrito

It’s a great way of creating portable crepes (the filling can’t come out), so they’re great for lunch boxes. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• place the filling in the middle of the crepe or spread it in a thin layer all over the crepe
• fold the upper and bottom sides of the crepe into the middle and then roll it up from the left to the right side

#7 Square overlapping fold

This fold is great for savory crepes, especially for crepes filled with eggs. Here’s how to do it:

• place the crepe on a plate with the best side facing down
• spread the filling in a thin layer in the middle of the crepe or place your filling ingredients on top of the crepe, leaving about 2-inches (5 cm) of border around the edges.
• fold the unfilled edge towards the middle, now go around the crepe and fold towards the middle 3 more times, creating an overlap with each fold
