Crepes

Crepes

My sister, Kayla, and I used to make these a lot during high school. 

It was fun coming up with different combinations for the fillings. 

Now, my kids LOVE crepes. 

We like to eat these on Sunday nights. 

(If we have a big lunch, this can double as dinner and dessert!)

Some of our favorite fillings are:

(and almost any combination of these works)

sliced strawberries

sliced bananas

nutella

peanut butter

butter

cinnamon and sugar

powder sugar

Fried apples (my mom gave us some from the Cracker Barrel)

and some homemade creamy crepes sauce. 

To make the crepes:

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend till fully combined. 

You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender and blend one more time. 

Just a few seconds is all it takes. 

Heat a small skillet, coat with a non-stick spray.

Pour about 2 Tbs of batter into the pan. 

Roll the pan around until the batter covers the bottom of the pan.

Let it cook for about 20 seconds, it really doesn't take long. 

Then flip the crepe over with a spatula. 

They will be very thin and can tear easily, so use caution. 

Give it about 20 seconds on this side then remove to plate. 

Add your favorite toppings and roll it up. 

Dust with powder sugar. 

Eat while still warm. 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

2 eggs

2 cups milk

1 Tbs sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 Tbs butter, melted

Blend all ingredients in a blender. 

Cook on med heat.  About 20 seconds per side, adjust time as needed. 

This makes enough for my family of 6, with a few left over. 

(And my 6 year old eats about 9!!)
