Crepes

I love crepes.  I just love them.  They are a great dessert as well as breakfast.  People think they are crazy hard to make, so making these for company will make you look like a culinary goddess.  I made them today for the girls and they were in heaven.  I wish we would have had fresh fruit besides bananas because that would have been even better.  I use Alton Brown's recipe and leave out the liqueur.  I wrapped a few together to fit more on my plate...they aren't this thick.  Even better, you can freeze these bad boys and have them later.  Just be sure to let them defrost slowly before pulling them apart.


My version of Alton Brown's Crepe recipe:

1 cup flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
3 tblsp melted butter
2 1/2 tblsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Just whisk together all your ingredients and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or more.

Heat a cast iron skillet to medium low heat (mine was too warm).  Once your skillet is good and hot add some batter and thin out quickly.  If you do this slowly you will get thick crepes like mine...oops.

Flip them within 10-15 seconds and cook for 10-15 seconds more.  They will not be as hard to flip as you think...I promise.  Lay them flat to cool.

You can then fill them with whatever you would like and powder them with sugar or use whipped cream and you have a great dessert or meal!  I used peanut butter and bananas.
