Crepes

An all time favorite- Crepes! I love walking to the local Farmer's market downtown and eating them for breakfast on a warm summer morning.. yummy!

Basic Crepes

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour (I substitute whole wheat flour)
2 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 TB butter, melted

Directions:

Step 1:  In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and the water, stirring to combine. Add salt and butter. Beat until smooth.

Step 2:  Heat a pan or griddle to medium heat. Pour appx 1/4 cup batter into pan and swirl in a circular motion so as to make a round crepe.

Step 3:  Cook the crepe on both sides until it's light golden brown. Remove from heat. Fill with appropriate toppings.

Note:
The use of whole wheat flour will make a more sturdy crepe. It won't be as light and airy as it normally would. But it's still quite tasty.

Topping suggestions:
Fresh fruit
Whip Creme
Apple Cinnamon Crepes: apple slices or apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, powdered sugar.
Breakfast Crepes could include veggies, eggs or a combo of those with/without breakfast meat.

My all time fav is to duplicate the Farmer's Market Crepe's. They spread a good size dab of cream cheese on the warm crepe, then toss some fresh sliced strawberries down the center (maybe even banana's if you're getting totally crazy!). Finally they top it off with dollops of whipped creme. Is your moth watering yet?! :)
