It doesn’t get any more typical DANISH than this thin crepe recipe. Or well, maybe my recipe for the traditional Danish round pancakes, also called Æbleskiver, beats it.
However, this thin crepe recipe is something I, as many other Danes, love to make, when the weather is waaaaay to grey, as it is now, and we need some Hygge. You know, something a bit extra that makes us forget about the bad weather and just taste amazing.

Thin crepe recipe with different fillings
A classic way to eat these crepes is to fill them with vanilla ice cream and some kind of jam for example blackcurrant. Or simply just eat them with sugar and a bit of fresh lemon juice.
For a bit more healthy version, one that makes it completely legal to enjoy these for breakfast, is to fill them with fresh fruit, yoghurt, nut butter and maybe just a tiny bit of finely chopped dark chocolate.
Well, actually anything goes. Fill these beauties with anything you want! I’m not judging… I’ve tried a looooot!
