Crepes

Crepes are the quintessential celebration food in the Devine household. We love to do them on any occasion that we can think of, even just a family breakfast on saturday morning! And now Micah loves to make them with my mom just about every weekend! And they never get old! They really are to die for!

Ingredients:

5 eggs

2 cups milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 3/4 cups flour

1 tsp salt

4 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

Put the wet ingredients into the blender and blend for 10 seconds. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend until smooth. Fry in a pan using about a 1/3 cup of batter for each crepe, depending on the desired size. Pour the batter into a buttered pan that has been heated over medium high heat and swirl the pan until the batter spreads to fill the bottom of the pan. These cook very quickly and you don’t want them to brown. Watch closely and in a few seconds flip the crepe and let cook another 5 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat this process until all your crepes are made. Place the desired filling down the crepe and roll it.

I like to serve these with fresh fruit and homemade maple syrup (recipe below). But you can also do nutella and bananas or strawberries! Basically, you just can't go wrong with crepes!

MAPLE SYRUP:

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 1/4 cup water

2 tsp Mapeleine (you can usually find this in any store- it is in a little bottle near the vanilla)

1 Tbsp butter, optional

Boil sugars and water for 5 minutes, make sure the sugar is dissolved and not grainy, and then add the Mapeleine and butter.
