HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Whisk the flour, eggs, and water together in a large bowl until a smooth, thin batter forms.

02

Melt the butter and mix it with the Greek yogurt in a separate small bowl to create the layering cream.

03

Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a drop of oil and place over medium heat.

04

Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, tilting it to coat the bottom, and cook for 1 minute.

05

Brush a thin layer of the yogurt-butter mixture over the crepe, then pour another thin layer of batter on top.

06

Repeat the layering process until the batter is exhausted, flipping the entire stack once halfway through if needed for even browning.

07

Remove from the pan, slice into wedges like a pizza, and serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For an authentic touch, use a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet which helps achieve the characteristic crispy edges found in traditional mountain cooking.

Easy Substitutions

You can replace Greek yogurt with sour cream for a slightly tangier flavor profile or use milk instead of water for a richer, softer texture.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a dry pan over low heat to restore the texture.
