Crepes! I luv me some Crepes!

I'm about to make crepes, but before I get into that, I would like to say, that on Friday night, I made my first Hollandaise Sauce! From the Joy of Cooking. Then we served it up with Steamed artichokes, and it was awesome!!! Now for the crepes. I got the recipe from allrecipes.com. 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Makes 2 crepes

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
  4. Top with whatever floats your boat, like cream cheese or fruit. 

    And then you are done! Pig out, eat it! YUM!!! I topped mine with Vanilla and Caramel Ice cream and Powered Sugar.

Yum - these sound great. I think Nutella is the best crepe filling out there!!
