They wouldn’t hold together so I added white flour in order to save the batch . They still weren’t very good . I followed the recipe so not sure why they didn’t work.

I couldn’t agree more!  Video is something I’m heavily leaning towards, but when I do it ? I want to do it right, with a plan, proper equipment, etc.  For now, I’m positive that there are loads of crepe making videos on the youtube.  Take a look! 😀

It’s impossible as whole milk suggests ~4% milk fat. The nutrition facts are wrong. Whole milk ricotta will definitely have fat.

Hi Nat, both of those are “hungry” flours and need extra moisture in order to balance out in a recipe. I definitely think it can and would result in something tasty, but it would take some tweaking to arrive at a new happy place. Experiment with it! I’m sure there’s a nice new recipe out there, which is close to this one, but a little bit more durable. Perhaps consider throwing ground chia in, in place of the flax. Just a thought. I hope this helps! 🙂

I was following another low carb plan & it used lots of cottage cheese. Could I sub cottage cheese for ricotta? Also what about using egg substitute from a carton? Love your site and recipes! It won’t feel so restricting now! I really miss pasta, rice and wraps!

I lost 12 pounds with the other plan but I was only eating the same old things like chicken breast & broccoli! A coworker always comes into my office when I’m eating lunch and I would always have the same thing! It got to be a joke! It worked though and I’ve kept weight off since August!

Hi Pat, I’m sorry! I didn’t see this, until just now. I’ve had people tell me that cottage cheese works just as well. I haven’t personally tried it, but I suspect it would work. I don’t know about egg substitutes. I like eggs and have never tried the alternatives. I have zero idea how they work. Stick around … LOADS of variety around this place. No need to have the same thing every day. Congrats on the 12 lbs! 🙂

I am having a hard time understanding the net carbs you posted. I am seeing this recipe at 5g of net carbs per serving, given there is no fiber in this recipe. Can you please provide some guidance! Thanks!

Nevermind, as I input my recipe into my tracker, it didn’t show sugar alcohols. I understand now 🙂

Hi Sandi, I seriously doubt it. Crepes are delicate and cast iron pans are anything but. I suspect you’d have all sorts of trouble with it. Sorry! :/

I ate them with a little bit of sugar free maple syrup and it taste just like bacon and French toast. Delicious! This is a very versatile recipe. I also like them rolled up with ham and cheese in them. It does take a little while to master the technique, but practice makes perfect.
