Breakfast treats are also some of the least intimidating but greatly appreciated things you can prepare. Just think muesli in parfait glasses and you get the idea. Oh, and the endless things you can top a crepe with!
Speaking of crepes, I woke up late and got a message that my friend Nino was making a batch. I love having friends as neighbors! And since there is only enough to share for this table, I will just share the recipe that we've used countless times with much success. Enjoy!
Crepes
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 cup of milk, plus more if needed
Whisk everything together until you get a smooth batter. The idea is to get it thin enough so it will easily be swirled in a pan. The key is trial and error. If you end up with less than perfect crepes on the first few tries, chalk it up to experience and save the trial ones for yourself. They may not look good but they will taste the same.. then your guests can enjoy the post-trial good ones.
Since crepes are thin they will cook easily. They should turn solid in front of your eyes in no time. I like to use a non-stick pan, loosen the edges with a spatula, and flip to cook the other side. Let me know how it goes!
*Our brunch crepes, stuffed with bananas. I'm generally a butter and sugar topping fan, but condensed milk and Nutella are always welcome guests!
that looks yum!!! will try this recipe asap =D would you believe...we got an electric crepe maker as a wedding gift! with the wooden spatula thing and everything! we won't be using it if it's just the two of us of course, so at first we thought it was going to be another appliance we'll stack way at the back of the cupboard... but we've tried it once with friends over, fun naman hehe.
ReplyDeleteYUM!!!! can't wait to live on my own and try all these out! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! What a great present... and nice to
ReplyDeleteknow you actually used it!
This recipe is cut in half from the original so it's perfect for 2-4 women or one hungry Gabe. Also try layering them in a pan like lasagana and fill with your favorite fruit compote. :)
Liz: I can't wait to see your place! I was bugging your designer about it. Haha.
