I made crepes for dinner last night-Oscar filled his with Apple Butter and poured a little maple syrup on top, while I opted for the more evil chocolate cream cheese filling with banana slices on top (no syrup needed).
Crepes are wonderful because you can make a big pile of them and let people get creative and put all their own favorite fruits, savory bites and sweet tastes on them. You can go "Elvis" and put some peanut butter and bacon crumbles inside and drizzle with honey, or you can do the simple but elegant strawberry filling and dust with a little powdered sugar. If a jar of Nutella actually survived overnight in the pantry (I wake up and mysteriously find myself, spoon gripped in hand, in the pantry with an empty jar in the wee hours of the morning if there is any in the house), that would also be an awesome treat to fill the crepes with!
It is fun to have a crepe brunch party with a big warmer full of homemade crepes and a table full of goodies to top and fill those little thin wrappers with. The prep work is minimal and everyone will love it. Get creative with this easy to make, always fun food!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter, plus extra butter for cooking crepes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Put the flour and salt and in a large mixing bowl and whisk in the milk. Whisk in the eggs, and then the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Drop 1/3 cup of the batter into a hot skillet that you have coated with a pat of the extra butter, swirling the batter to spread it around the pan and make a thin layer. Cook for approximately 1 minute and flip, cooking for another minute to make the crepe a nice golden brown on both sides.
Fill, top, eat, repeat!
