Recipe #7 My world Famous Crepe Recipe

Kelly's world famous Crepe recipe:

Recipe makes 6-8

What you need to make the crepes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Splash of pure vanilla

What you need for presentation:

- Icing sugar
- 100% pure maple syrup
- fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, banana's, raspberries, peaches whatever you like)
- Cool whip (low fat)

COOKING 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 frying pan over medium/medium high heat.  Scoop the batter onto the frying pan (about 1/4 cup per crepe). Tilt the pan using a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

3) Cook the crepe for about 1 minute 1/2 - 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown (should almost look like the moon's face). Pick it up using the spatula (or use the "Father pancake flip" technique) and cook other side for about another minute.

4) Put cooked crepe on a plate, put desired fruit inside (I add some cool whip here also), and roll it up. Top with some more fruit, a dab of cool whip, drizzle with maple syrup and a pinch of icing sugar on top for presentation.

(It will take making these a couple of times to master them, but once you do they will be a family treat.) I make them for special occasions (mothers day, birthdays, family staying over).
