Great Holiday Ideas Brunch Food Menu - Crepes

Basic Crepe Recipe

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Utensils: a big bowl, whisk, ladle, spatula, and a frying pan

In the medium size bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Beat in the milk and vanilla. Then add the flour and mix until very smooth. Add the melted butter, sugar, and salt to the batter and blend well. It should be the consistency of very heavy cream. Add slightly more milk if necessary. The batter can be used immediately, but even better, cover and chill 1 hour or overnight.

Heat the pan and brush lightly with melted butter. Pour in a ladle full of batter (about 3 tablespoons). Quickly swirl the pan around so the batter spreads out thin. Cook over medium-high heat until the crepe is set and the edges are lightly browned and lift up easily, about 1 - 2 minutes. Flip it, spread it with your favorite filling, and cook for about another minute. Fold it in half, and then in half again, creating a triangle, then serve!

Warning: With soap and water, always wash hands, cooking utensils, cookware and areas in the kitchen when using eggs.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Prep 15 - 20 minutes
Serves 8 Crepes

Here below is what I use to make at the restaurant I worked at years ago. We cooked desserts in front of restaurant patrons. They loved every bit of it. I enjoyed the flame when you first ignite the pan. "Whoosh!" Dessert Crepes are the bomb.
