Dessert Crepes

This recipe is so easy! It's made from things that everyone should have on hand in the kitchen - and can be filled with anything yummy you have from simple butter and sugar, to nutella, jam, honey, or whatever sweet things you can find in the fridge or pantry!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

4 eggs

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons melted butter (unsalted)

yields aproximately 6 crepes 

Directions

Pour flour into a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk then the eggs one-by-one. Next whisk in the sugar and melted butter. Whisk well until batter is smooth.

(Tip: Batter should be a nice, smooth consistency, and thinner than pancake batter)

Cover with a towel, or saran wrap and let rest for about an hour. DO NOT REFRIGERATE

When you are ready to cook, heat a medium to large (depending how big you want your crepes) skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a good slice (not huge, think picture-on-the-front-of-a-syrup-container sized) of butter and coat the pan evenly. 

Using a ladel, pour in a good amount of batter (aprox. 1/2 - 3/4 cup depending on the size of the skillet you use. Use common sense - don't get stuck with thick, dense crepes! Batter should fill the bottom of the skillet - see photo for reference).

Once the crepe starts to bubble and you see bits turning golden, pick up the skillet and wiggle around a bit to loosen the crepe. Using a flick of the wrist, flip the crepe and set back on the stove. Cook for about 30-45 more seconds and move to a clean plate.

Spread with butter and fill with whatever your heart desires! I like mine with butter, sugar and strawberry preserves.

These are amazing with any type of sweet filling! Buon Apettito!!
