Crepes

Crepes are another favorite food item of mine...so thin, so delicious.  They are great by themselves or with honey, jam / preserve...anything.  Here is a recipe that I use...let me know what you think!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • butter (for frying)

Directions:
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs then add the milk
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar and nutmeg
  • Slowly pour the egg mix into the flour and whisk until you have a smooth texture
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and rub a little butter in
  • Pour or scoop the crepe batter (1/4 cup to 1/2 cup) into the pan
  • Fry for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side until light brown
Notes:
  1. You can use a measuring cup to scoop out your batter
  2. Depending on how big your frying pan, use a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup
  3. After scooping the batter in the pan, tilt the pan in a circular motion so batter covers the entire surface of the pan
  4. If you really like nutmeg, you can use 2 teaspoons instead of 1 !
  5. Always rub a little butter in the pan for every scoop of batter
  6. I am sure other toppings are great but nothing beats the combination of this crepe recipe and some honey!
