Crepes

     Every Thursday morning, I have a cooking class at CSCL. In the class, we look thorough cookbooks to find a recipe that we want to make, then we cook it. Yesterday, we cooked crepes. We put some combination of honey, Nutella, chocolate sause, apples, whipped cream, and strawberry jam. They were delicious. For anyone who has not eaten crepes, even though we made sweet crepes, savory crepes are also amazing. Unfortunately,  I forgot to find out where the recipe came from, so the recipe will not be in this entry. Also due my forgetfulness, I don't know the exact measurements of the ingredients used. I may have found a recipe that seems to roughly match what I can remember from the recipe, though. This recipe is from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/basic-crepes/. Here it is



Original recipe makes 8 crepesChange Servings

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup 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.

    Sounds delicious Max - if you were to make savory crepes - what would you put in them?

      Apples, grapes, and brie. Whenever I go to that crepe restaurant near my house, I also get the apple grape and brie crepe. It is one of my favorites.

    This is the recipe I use but do not use the salt.

    Ella likes how the recipe can be configured for more servings and also check boxes to make sure that you have all of the ingredients.
