Crepes

I woke up this morning for a hankering for something different than normal for breakfast. Seeing that this was my first Saturday morning not working in three weeks, I decided to indulge. Strawberry Cream Crepes.. mmm

There are two parts to making this delectable morning meal: the crepe and the filling...we will start with the crepe!

To make the crepes you need



                                                            2 Large Eggs
                                                            1 Cup Flour
                                                            1/2 Cup Milk
                                                         1/2 Cup Water
                                                           2 Tbsp Butter
                                                            2 Tbsp Sugar
                                                               1/4 tsp Salt



For the crepes... there's nothing to it.... just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together!

At this point I made the filling so that I could put the filling right in the hot crepes. However, I'll continue showing you how to make the crepes.

Pour the batter onto a hot, greased griddle or pan.

Spread the batter out along the bottom of the pan. Let the crepe cook for about 2 minutes on one side until it is slightly browned--- then flip, flip it good!
Allow the other side to cook and Voila!!! Crepes!

Now for the filling. The beautiful thing about crepes is that they are as unique as you are!! You can use anything you want to fill them... I made a strawberry sour cream filling this morning. Other great ideas are nutella and bananas/ strawberry cream cheese/ apple spice/ cheese... the possibilities are endless!

        5 large strawberries (stems removed and cut up)
        1/3 cup sour cream
        3 Tbsp sugar
        1 Tbsp lemon juice








Take the chopped strawberries and sugar and throw them in the food processor to puree them up
Then throw this mixture into a mixing bowl and add your sour cream and lemon juice and mix everything together!
Now let watch the two worlds collide! Put a couple spoonfuls of your filling on the crepe.


Fold it up... throw some whipped cream or powdered sugar on top and ENJOY!

I was craving crepes about a week ago but I'm horrible at making any sort of desserts so I opted out of even attempting but hmmmm. Yummy yummy yummy.
