Breakfast or Dessert Crepes
Total preparation time: 10-15 minIngredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Steps:
- Blend the milk and eggs either with a blender or hand blender.
Add salt and vanilla and slowly add flour.
If you are making crepes that will have a sweet filling I like to add 2 tsp sugar.
Depending on the type of flour you may have to add a little more milk.
The batter is actually better if it is thin rather than thick.
I use a medium-high flame to cook quickly and because I like my crepes browned. Some people prefer there crepes on the lighter side.
There are endless fillings for crepes:
DINNER - fill with cooked chicken, brocolli & mushrooms (optional)(little of the cheese sauce to keep the ingredients together. Roll & put more cheese sauce on top (I use Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup) Brown under the broiler.

Apple: sprinkle crepe with cinnamon and put 4 tbsps of apple pie filling - roll. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
