Cuban Crepes are a delightful fusion of tropical flavors and versatility, featuring thin, soft pancakes filled with sweet guava and cream cheese or savory mojo pork and peppers. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these crepes are easy to make and bring the vibrant taste of Cuba to your table.

Ingredients

  • For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

  • Suggested Sweet Filling:
  • 1/2 cup guava paste

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)

  • 2 tablespoons honey or powdered sugar for garnish

  • Suggested Savory Filling:
  • 1/2 cup shredded mojo pork

  • 1/4 cup sautéed bell peppers and onions

  • 2 tablespoons Cuban-style mustard

Directions

  • Prepare the Crepe Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, and water. Whisk until smooth.
    Add the salt and melted butter, mixing thoroughly to create a thin batter. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Cook the Crepes:
    Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
    Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it to spread evenly.
    Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom turns golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
    Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
  • Add Your Filling:
    For a sweet Cuban crepe, spread softened cream cheese onto the crepe, followed by a layer of guava paste. Fold or roll and drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
    For a savory option, fill with shredded mojo pork, sautéed bell peppers, and onions. Add a drizzle of mustard, then fold and serve.

Notes

  • Pair sweet Cuban crepes with a side of tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for an authentic experience.
  • Serve savory crepes with a side salad or fried plantains for a complete meal.
