Instructions
Step 1
<a href="/XZFHRHHF">Heat </a>the milk in the <a href="/7KR3LCHD">microwave </a>in a <a href="/7KR3LCHD">microwave </a>safe bowl for about 45-75 seconds. You just want the milk to be slightly w<a href="/FVYNJCCW">arm t</a>o the touch. Once the milk is w<a href="/FVYNJCCW">armed w</a><a href="/GV3SK283">hisk a</a>ll of the ingredients in a bowl until the mixture is
Step 2
well combined. It is going to be thin and runny.
Step 3
On medium <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat,</a> <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat </a>your <a href="/NZ2LK8CC">frying </a>pan or crêpe pan and spray
Step 4
<a href="/64W3NS5R">melt </a>in some butter you <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a>use a non stick cooking spray like Pam if you likebut the traditional <a href="/D4KY8GSH">French </a>way is with butter.
Step 5
Pour in one <a href="/2262VYRW">ladle </a>full of batter and <a href="/B52FHCF2">turn </a>the pan until it is <a href="/6BTCX64M">coated </a>in a thin layer of batter. Depending on your <a href="/2262VYRW">ladle </a>size you may need to add a little extra.
Step 6
The thing to remember is that crêpes are meant to be thin.
Step 7
If it is too thick it will not cook properly. So if it looks too thin then it
Step 8
probably isn’t. It will start to look rubbery.
Step 9
Loosen the edges and check the crêpe. When it starts to <a href="/D434P8MH">brown </a>and the
Step 10
edges shrink up a bit it is time to <a href="/TCL6N2Z7">flip!</a> This usually takes about 3 to 4
Step 11
minutes but I suggest you check it because depending on your pan and your oven it could be slightly more or slightly less. <a href="/TCL6N2Z7">Flip </a>the crêpe. Then move the crêpe around so it has no wrinkles and let the
Step 12
other side cook. About 2 minutes but again it never hurts to check it.
Step 13
Now the fun part! Making your crêpe filling station. Crêpes
Step 14
are very versatile and go well with a number of things like jam, fresh fruit
Step 15
and even just plain with butter and powder sugar! You <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a>also make savory
Step 16
crêpes and eliminate the sugar in the batter and fill them with broccoli and
Step 17
cheese or asparagus and tomato. The possibilities are only limited to what you <a href="/TPWNYF5L">can </a>imagine! Since we were having breakfast and I had all these gorgeous strawberries and peaches I decided that we would fill our crêpes with fresh fruit and dust them with a little bit of powder sugar! This is my favorite way to eat them. Fill the crepe with fruit. <a href="/LTNN8R88">Roll </a>it up. Sprinkle some powder sugar ontop and enjoy!
