Crepes

According to wikipedia, crepes “are a type of very thin cooked pancake usually made from wheat flour. ” I love crepes…and I remember it vividly on a platter served with vanilla ice cream and mangoes!
Can you resist a wonderful creation…originally from France…hmm…bon appetit!
I love crepes in cafe breton..look at this yummy treat!

Here’s a recipe I found online, worth trying at home:
(from Mr. Breakfast)
How To Make A Basic Crepe

(4 servings)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
Whisk the flour and the eggs together in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and the water. Add the salt and butter, and beat the mixture until smooth.

If you have a crepe maker, you probably know what to do next. If you’re not so lucky…

Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium. Give it a very light spray of cooking oil. Drop the crepe mixture onto the heated surface. Using about a 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. “Thin is in” when it comes to the layer of batter.

Cook each side until the golden brown brown (about 2 minutes for side one — batter will bubble; and 1 minute for side 2). Gently remove and place on a plate. Place waxed paper between cooked crepes to prevent sticking.

This will make 8 crepes. 2 crepes make a serving.
