When we think of crepes, we often associate them with being thin, delicate and flimsy, which can make the task of folding them a bit intimidating. Whether you’re making a sweet or savory dish, the presentation of a crepe is important and can really enhance your eating experience. Fear not, however, as folding a crepe is quite easy and with a little practice, you’ll be creating beautiful, Instagram-ready plates in no time!

First of all, it’s important to know that there are many different ways to fold a crepe, and the method chosen often depends on the type of filling or sauce you have. A sweet crepe may be filled with fresh fruit and Nutella, whereas a savory crepe may be filled with spinach and feta cheese. We’ll discuss three common ways to fold crepes: The classic fold, the single fold, and the envelope fold.

The Classic Fold:

The classic fold is perhaps the easiest and most traditional method of folding crepes. This method is best used when you have a sweet filling that you want to show off, such as fresh fruit or whipped cream.

Begin by folding the crepe in half to create a semicircle shape. Hold the folded edge with your fingers and then fold the crepe in half again. Et voila! You have a perfectly folded and delicious crepe, ready to be enjoyed.

The Single Fold:

The single fold is similar to the classic fold, except you only fold the crepe once instead of twice. This method is best used when you have a sauce or filling that needs to be contained.

Begin by folding the crepe in half to create a semicircle shape. Place your desired filling in the center of the crepe, leaving a bit of space around the edges. Take the open end of the crepe and fold it over the filling, towards the center of the crepe. Repeat on the other side, creating a half-moon shape.

The Envelope Fold:

The envelope fold is a bit more complicated, however it’s the perfect method to use when you want to create a visually impressive dish. This method requires a bit of dexterity and patience, but we promise it’s worth it in the end!

Begin by placing your desired filling on one side of the crepe and fold the other side over the filling. Next, take one side of the crepe and fold it towards the center of the crepe, over the filling. Take the other side of the crepe and fold it over the first fold, creating a neat square with the filling snugly inside.

Finally, take the top and bottom of the crepe and fold them over the sides, creating an envelope-shaped crepe.

In conclusion, folding crepes doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a little practice, you’ll be able to create beautiful plates that not only taste delicious, but look amazing as well. Experiment with different fillings and sauces and try out different folding techniques to find the method that works best for you. And remember, even if the crepes don’t turn out perfect the first time, they’ll still be delicious!
