Crepes Galore

Crepes are easy, as I found out a few Sundays ago. You just wait, reclining comfortably on the sofa, and it's brought out to you, fresh off the stove! I guess I should preface, I had some hard-at-work folks in the kitchen to make this delightfuliousness happen! 

The Crew

The Crepes Recipe

2 eggs

1 cup milk

2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 pinch salt

1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil + more for pan (or substitute with butter!)

Dash of vanilla extract (optional) 

Directions: 

1. Blend together eggs, milk, flour, salt, oil, and vanilla extract (if using) using either a blender or hand-mixer. Mix until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. (We didn't have the patience to wait- so chill for as long as you have will be fine.) 
2. Heat skillet with a flat surface (or crepe pan) on medium heat, and spray cooking spray on surface of pan. Pour 1/4 cup batter (batter should be thin) onto pan, tilting to completely cover surface of pan. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with rest of batter. 
3. Filling: Fill crepes with assortment of cut-up fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, etc.), fruit sauces (See Blueberry Sauce below), sweetened cream cheese, chocolate chips, Nutella, etc. Drizzle with chocolate/caramel sauces, and top with whipped cream. 
4. Blueberry Sauce: Combine 1 1/2 c. blueberries and 1 tbsp. cornstarch in saucepan. Add enough water to cover bottom of pan. Bring to boil, stirring until desired consistency is reached. Sweeten with sugar if desired.
