Crepes

You will NEVER believe me! But guess who reads my blog.!.

SANTA!!!!

I got my crepe maker for Christmas and we busted it out for the first time last weekend. We had friends over and watched the BYU football game, and it was a blast! What’s better then watching football? Watching football while eating a crepe

Let’s be honest, no one knows how to make a crepe like the French, but you can’t blame me for trying can you? Luckily these turned out pretty darn good!

Crepes

Ingredients

2 large eggs
3/4 cup cold milk (I used Coconut Milk, and it worked great)
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup flour
2-1/2 T sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tablespoons melted butter

For a more savory crepe omit the sugar and vanilla and add 1/4 t salt

Directions

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend for 10 seconds…really, that’s all the time you need…much longer and your crepes may be tough and fat, and we want thin crepes!
If you have a crepe maker dip, wait for the light to turn off
Lay cooked crepe out flat so they can cool
Continue until all batter is gone

Stack on a plate, and cover with a paper towel to keep them warm

Here is the crepe maker I have…it’s a Cloer Cordless Crepe Maker

If you don’t have one, no worries…here are the instructions for using a pan, courtesy of foodnetwork.com

Heat a small non-stick pan
Add butter, or use non-stick spray for each crepe
Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly
Cook for 30 seconds and flip
Cook for another 10 seconds and remove

After they have cooled you can stack the left over crepes and store in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

Top or fill your crepes with:

Nutella and bananas-my favorite

syrup or jam, and powdered sugar

any kind of fruit really

Or use more savory toppings-like tomatoes and cheese

or go all out and make a fancy filling! Like this one here.

The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.

NEXT TIME I may add a tablespoon of rum flavoring.
