Crepes



Crepes are interesting. It is not the crepe itself that is important, what really matters is what you fill it with. You can fill it with sweet or savory foods. When mixing the batter I have heard that putting the ingredients in a blender works well, though I've never tried it. If you do blend it, however, be sure to let it sit for 1/2-1 hr to let the bubbles release. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS
1. Combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and oil. Mix until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into pan, tilting to completely coat the surface of the pan. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. These can be filled with fruit, peanut butter, chocolate, pudding, whipped cream, jam, lemon curd, and even savory fillings like chicken salad!
