Overall, these crepes were good. I would definitely make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

These crepes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I will try using a different type of pan next time.

These crepes were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the filling and they were much better.
