Crepe-style using spring roll wrappers

Exciting Snack Making ♡ Nenrin House Saito-dai

Crepes are thin sheets wrapped around various toppings—the excitement of having your favorites tucked inside is part of their charm.

Here, we’ll substitute spring roll wrappers for the crepe batter and have fun making crepes with free-form toppings.

Banana and chocolate are the classics, but feel free to arrange a variety of toppings while keeping in mind how you’ll wrap them at the end.

Once rolled, simply cook them on a griddle or hot plate and they’re done.

It’s also fun to think about what else you could add to make them even more delicious.
