Crepes: Dans Favourite

Now crepes may be my favourite 'breakfast' food. I guess they dont really need to be breakfast food, and my favourite time to have them is for dessert. There are some problems with them, well mostly the fact that they take some time to cook and they get eaten up extremely quickly. Now most people may say use a pancake mixture and add water, but trust me this does NOT produce very nice crepes and hell the recipe is so simple that you should make it yourself. Its very impressive and well, like pizza can be topped with so many different things.

To make basic crepe recipe start with a large bowl and mix together

• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs

Once mixed, slowly mix in

• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1 tsp of vanilla (my addition)

once that is all mixed up then add

• pinch of salt
  
• 2 tb melted butter

Now you have your batter. And i use a whisk to make sure it is nice and thin, which is better for making crepes.

Now for crepe pans it varies. Some people use real crepe pans, but honestly i prefer using a wide nonstick pan with low walls. This gives me a lot of surface to cover with the crepe mixture, and as its nonstick i dont have to worry that the crepes are going to stick and give me grief.

• Use a touch of oil on the griddle/pan
• keep at med heat
  
• add around 1/4 cup of crepe mixture,
• making sure to swirl around so that the mixture spreads out nice and thinly and evenly.

now the people on the street who sell crepes use a thing on top of the crepe to make it spread out evenly, but i dont know where to get one or whether i would like to use one so i just use physics to get it spread out...

they should take a couple min to cook, or till the sides have slightly curled up so that you can flip it. Dont flip if undercooked because it will just fall apart.

I think ill come up with a video of how to make the perfect crepe, but first off i need to make the perfect crepe.

Now enjoy with a lot of different things.

My favourite is

• lemon juice
• sugar

ohh yes its just that simple, but seriously there are so many toppings so play around.
