If the earth had one large table where we all can come together to share our food, then we could learn so much regardless of our differences. Food is the language of love that brings people together. Since I can't do that, I would love to share my Cardamom Crepes recipe with you. I believe that relationships bonded on food flourish better than those bonded on other terms ;).
A little story behind this recipe. My Ammi(Mother) made these Cardamom-infused crepes at least once a month for my Dad. He loved having these crepes for Dinner rather than breakfast or brunch. The rest of my family including me and my mother didn't care much about sweet crepes so she would always pair them with savory crepes. I’ll be sharing a savory crepe recipe very soon.
I remember seeing my Ammi whipping up this recipe in no time without measuring any ingredients and the crepes would come out perfect. The entire house smelled like Cardamom whenever she made these crepes. Though I didn't care much about Crepes back then, I cherish the memories attached to them. I have recently developed a love for sweet crepes and my kids love them. So, here I am making my mother's recipe for crepes.
Ingredients for Cardamom Infused Crepes
For Cardamom Infused Crepes

- Milk
- Eggs
- Freshly ground Cardamom- Always grind the Cardamom seed from pods for the best taste and aroma.

Pan for making Crepes
You don't need any special pan for making crepes. A regular Non-Stick pan should work perfectly fine to create some beautifully delicious Crepes. I use Farberware Non-Stick Pan to make Crepes and they turn out wonderful!
