Crepes by Sonya

Many people are intimidated by crepes but a few key tips can save the day.  My recipe is simple.

4 Eggs
1 Cup of Milk (cold)

Whisk together
...add

1 Cup of Flour
A pitch of salt (more for savory)
A pitch of sugar (more for sweet)

Whisk

2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter

Whisk

Put your pans on med-high heat for awhile. (5-10 minutes) You want the pans to be hot and even. Spray cooking oil and then wipe out the pans with a paper towel.

Then all you have to do is pour the mixture in the pan and try to move the batter around so it is thin and even.  This takes a bit of practice but once you get it you'll never loose it.  Once the edges brown up and start to lift, flip with spatula.  Give it 20 seconds and then place on parchment paper.  Repeat.

I make a ton of crepes and then wait to fill them with whatever the guest want.


Today it is Honey, Blueberry & Strawberries or Banana and Nutella with Homemade Whip Cream...Yum!

I also love Goat Cheese and Asparagus or Ham and Swiss.

  1. Tara made crepes with ash-ripened goat cheese that we got at the farmer's market, spinach, ham, and a poached egg. Amazing. You should try it out!
