Method
Mix the dry ingredients
Mix the flour, sugar and salt.
Make the batter
Beat the eggs, add the milk and melted butter, and combine with the dry ingredients until you have a lump-free batter. Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes before cooking the crepes; this rest is included in the 90-minute total.
Cook the crepes
Cook thin crepes, 1 to 2 minutes per side, in a lightly greased pan, and set them aside.
Saute the onion and garlic
Melt the butter for the filling and saute the onion and garlic.
Brown the beef
Add the beef and brown it for 3 to 4 minutes; add the mushrooms and cook until tender.
Add the flour
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for a minute so it blends in without lumps.
Make the sauce
Add the broth little by little, stirring, and cook until the sauce thickens.
Add the cream
Stir in the cream and cook a few minutes over low heat, without letting it boil hard.
Fill and serve
Season with salt and pepper, fill or top the crepes, and finish with parsley.

Notes
Tips
- Let the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking the crepes: they turn out thinner and flip with fewer tears.
- Cut the beef into thin strips and brown it in batches: if the pan is crowded, the meat releases water and steams instead of browning.
- The first crepe usually comes out worse; use it to adjust the heat and the amount of fat in the pan.
Substitutions
- Heavy cream: creme fraiche or sour cream.
- Beef broth: chicken or vegetable broth.
Storage
Store the crepes and the filling separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the filling over low heat and add a little broth if it thickens too much.

About this recipe
These homemade Stroganoff crepes combine a thin flour, milk and egg batter with beef, mushrooms and a creamy sauce. The recipe serves 4 and does not claim to reproduce a restaurant chain's recipe.
Let the mushrooms release and evaporate their water before adding the stock. Stir in the cream over low heat. If the filling thickens while you cook the crepes, loosen it with a little of the recipe's stock.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Yes, you can cook them up to a day ahead and store them stacked with paper between each one, covered, in the fridge. Reheat the filling separately before assembling.
Can I substitute the cream with something else?
You can use creme fraiche or plain unsweetened yogurt, although the sauce will be a little less rich.
Can I freeze the beef and mushroom filling?
Yes, the filling freezes well for up to 2 months in an airtight container. It's best to cook the crepes fresh, since they lose texture when frozen.
Is this the Crepes & Waffles Stroganoff crepe?
It is a homemade beef and mushroom crepe with a creamy sauce, not an official or verified copy of the restaurant's recipe.
Why do my crepes tear?
Rest the batter for 30 minutes, then whisk again. Use a hot, lightly greased nonstick pan and turn each crepe once its edges lift.
