Crepes

My cooking abilities are astonishing.....ly bad. I feel so bad for Travis. There are only a few recipes I have been able to master. One of which are crepes! Ever since I made them (and ate them) for the first time in 7th grade in one of my foreign languages classes, I have been obsessed. Now I can make some pretty mean crepes, thanks to my go-to recipe website Allrecipes.com. I think the reason I can makes these so well is because it doesn't require a whole lot of thinking. I don't know what it is but anytime I try to follow a recipe it suddenly looks Chinese.

I guess I could've wiped off the plate but the whipped cream was melting too fast!


I've included the link to the original recipe, but based on the reviews and on my own experiences, I've made an adapted version. I plan to get rich off it. 


This recipe makes about 8 crepes:

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

**Optional: 
touch of vanilla
touch of sugar
Whipped Cream
Fruit, Jelly, Jam, etc.
Directions:
  1. In a bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, and water, and if you want, a touch of vanilla and a touch of sugar. Gradually add in the flour, melted butter, and salt; stir/beat until combined and smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled/greased griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
  4. **There are multiple ways to decorate your crepes. I preferably like to either 1) sprinkle powdered sugar and pour syrup on (or even in) the crepe or 2) fill it with jam or fresh fruit and top with whipped cream.
