Crepes


1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted


Place ingredients in blender container in the order given. Blend 30 seconds, stop and stir down sides. Blend 30-60 seconds until smooth. Or, mix in bowl with wire whisk or mixer, first combining flour and eggs, adding liquid gradually. Beat until smooth; add other ingredients.

This is just the recipe for the batter, how you cook them is up to you. We like to use a crepe maker (Maxim Electric Crepe Maker). It makes things easy, and less messy, with a 30 second no-stick cook and release. Just pour the batter into a shallow pie pan and dip the crepe maker. I usually double the recipe, just to be sure that everyone gets their fill of crepes.

There are many different variations of crepes. Breakfast burrito crepes are one of my favorite. (Thanks to Aubrie and Corey)Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fried potatoes, and hot sauce. Berries with cream, bananas with Nutella and cream is also a treat. Butter and sugar make a delicious simple topping. Be creative, but be sure to share your favorite variation!

Don't forget the tropical sunrise kind: strawberries, banana, and pineapple with cream. So tasty. Or I hear that mango is pretty good, too. Or the dad verision: southwest hashbrowns and whipped cream. Pretty disgusting.
