This recipe is my daughters favorite. We love to make crepes and they can be topped with just about anything. It is such a wonderful easy dessert( especially if you have the crepes made in advance)
This basic crepe recipe is taken from Allrecipes.com
Basic Crepes
1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp.butter melted
in a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, add milk and water, and melted butter. Add salt, and stir in the flour, mixture will have a few small lumps. (its a lot like making pancakes except the mixture is thinner)
Heat a frying pan over med high heat, and lightly oil surface. ( Pam cooking spray works great)
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot pan, tilt the pan so the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve warm.
As you remove these from the pan place a layer of wax paper between each crepe. They can be frozen and used at a later date if you so desire.
Now for toppings, you can be very creative with this!!
My daughter likes to spread her crepe with nutella spread. then sliced bananas, and cool whip.
I like Caramel Pecan Crepes.
I use a bottle of caramel or butterscotch ice cream topping in a saucepan, throw in about a cup of pecans(unsalted), and heat this up.( do not boil, or it will harden)
Place a crepe on a dessert plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fold the crepe in around the sides and top with the warm caramel pecan topping, and whipped cream ( use the kind in the can) it looks so much nicer for presentation.
I have also seen these with various berry toppings.. strawberry, bakeapple, the list is endless.
Your guests will think you have slaved for hours!!
This is sinfully delicious and beautiful to look at !!
