Crepes

I love crepes, yet it is the one breakfast food I always forget about. We have French toast, and pancakes, and waffles but crepes are always forgotten. Lucky you, I remembered about crepes this weekend and we had some on Sunday morning. They were so good. I usually like just butter and honey on mine but this time I actually had some whipping cream in the fridge and some frozen strawberries and peaches in the freezer. So we had extra special crepes this time.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups milk
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs


1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Beat with hand beater until smooth.


2. Lightly butter 6-8 inch skillet. Heat over medium heat until bubbly.


3. For each crepe, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Immediately rotate skillet until thin layer of batter covers bottom. Cook until lights brown. Run wide spatula around edge to loosen; turn and cook other side until light brown. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering skillet as needed.


4. Stack crepes, keep covered. If desired, spread applesauce, sweetened strawberries, jelly, or jam thinly over each warm crepe; roll up. (Be sure to fill crepes so when rolled the more attractive side is on the outside.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Unfilled crepes can be wrapped airtight and frozen up to 2 months.
