easy, yummy crepes


My friend Katie got me hooked on crepes in high school. I also had one almost every day when I went to Europe. That's where I fell in love with Nutella. I actually got this recipe from my English teacher during my last semester at BYU-Idaho. He made them for the whole class on the last day of school. He was nice enough to also share the recipe. I was surprised at how easy  and inexpensive it was to make them. I bought a carton of eggs for .88 cents and flour for a $1.18. I already had milk, fruit, Nutella, and whipping cream. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as Jordan and I have.


Crepes

2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 cup milk
pinch of salt

Blend ingredients with a hand mixer. Batter should be smooth and runny. Butter a medium/hot pan. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and quickly rotate it to spread batter thinly over pan. Flip when underside is golden brown. Cook second side for about 30 seconds. Top with fresh fruit, Nutella, yogurt, jam, whipping cream, or powdered sugar. I like to try different combinations of fruit and roll it like an empanada. You could also top it with fresh mushrooms, sliced ham, and scrambled eggs for a heartier meal. Be creative!

Makes about 10-12 crepes
