Amazing & Easy Basic Crepes

Ms. Baker's Note:

I got this recipe from an OLD "Pillsbury Kitchens' Family Cookbook". I have been using this recipe since I was in High School, so that should tell you how EASY they are to put together and they are such a hit! You can do anything with them. Add fruits for a yummy breakfast dish, chicken and cheeses for a dinner dish (VERY good), or sweet fillings and powdered sugar for a dessert.

These crepes are super easy and delicious! This recipe is almost identical to the crepes I usually make - the only difference is that I add 2 tablespoons of sugar, as I usually make sweet rather than savory crepes.

This recipe made a very nice basic crepe. I chose to fill my crepes with chocolate nutella and bananas that I pan fried in margarine. It was very tasty. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.
