Crepes

mspecangirl's Note:

These are the best crepes you will ever have. My husband did not like crepes until he had these. Try them you will love them. If you don't have a crepe pan, don't worry you can still make them in a small pan with low sides.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs

Directions:

1. Place sugar, flour, salt, eggs, and milk in large bowl; mix together using whisk until well incorporated.
2. Whisk in warm water.
3. Add melted butter and whisk again.
4. Strain batter through sieve (if you don't have a sieve a wire stainer works good also) into a clean bowl, repeat 2 times.
5. Lightly coat crepe pan with non-stick spray (Pam), heat pan over medium-high heat; once pan is hot pour in small ladle of batter.
6. Tilt pan and rotate, causing batter to cover bottom of pan (try to do this fast, as the batter cooks fast).

8. Turn crepe over; cook 30 seconds.
9. Stack crepes on plate and keep warm in warm oven as they are done.

We LOVE these crepes! I have to admit I've been making these for some time and have finally gotten around to leaving a review... This is a fail safe recipe, I've never strained the batter, with careful incorporation of the ingredients I've never had lumps in the batter. I mix the dry ingredients first, add the milk and water, whisking briskly, drizzle in the butter, then add the eggs. These cook up beautifully, have a wonderful texture and are just delicious!

These were great! My first attempt at crepes and they turned out wonderfully. Recipe was easy and strainging was not a problem in my mesh collander. I stuffed mine with Nutella, bananas and strawberries then topped it with homemade Frangelico whipped cream.

I just tried this crepes recipe without straining it. Let me tell you, this is the best I have ever made. They were light and delicious. This is definitely a keeper.
