Crepes

Thursday night my oldest son asked me to make him some crepes for breakfast on Friday. I went to the store and forgot to buy fruit. Last night I remembered that he was craving some crepes so I bought some strawberries so we could eat crepes this morning. The kids really like them because they get to put whatever toppings they want and they can have different combinations.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of Flour
  • 3/4 cup of Milk
  • 1/2 cup of Water
  • 3 tbsp of melted Butter
  • 2 lg Eggs
  • 2-1/2 tbps of Sugar
  • 1 tbsp of Vanilla Extract
  • Butter to coat the skillet
  • 2 Bananas sliced
  • Whipped Cream 
  • 1 carton of Strawberries
  • Any other berries you would like 
  • Lechera or Chocolate Syrup
  • Cream Cheese
Directions:
  1. Combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and water in a bowl. Make sure you whisk the batter completely so there isn't any lumps. Then let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour. If you want you can prepare the batter the night before.
  2. Once you let the batter rest is time to cook the crepes. You want to heat your skillet and then add some butter to coat it so the crepe won't stick to the pan. Then add 1/4 cup of batter to skillet and make sure you move it around the pan so you can make a very thin layer of batter. 
  3. Depending how high you have the stove, it may take anywhere from 15-45 seconds before you flip the crepe over. You want the batter to dry on the top and that some bubbles are forming. When you do flip it be careful not to rip it. Then let it be cook on the other side approximately the same amount of time. Take it out and place it on a plate.
  4. You want to repeat step 2 & 3 until you have used all the batter. 
  5. Now have all the toppings on the table for everyone to build their own combination. The ones you see on the pics are one made of cream cheese, lechera, whipped cream, and strawberries. The other is the same thing but banana instead of strawberries. 
This is a simple breakfast meal but has great flavors and I'm sure your family will enjoy it.
