Crepes Please!!!

Well, ya'll raved over our Crepes for St. Therese (and thank you so much for all your super sweet comments on our day:))

Here's the VERY simple and no fail recipe:

• 4 eggs lightly beaten
• 2 cups milk
• 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil (or any veg oil, just not Olive oil)
• 3/4c. to 1 cup flour (depending upon how thin or thick you prefer)
• 1-2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 tespoon salt (kosher)

Blend first three ingredients until frothy, add last three ingredients and  blend until you have a nice smooth pourable batter.  Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a med-high heat griddle or very large non-stick saute pan.  (You need room around your crepe to get your spatula under it to flip)  Use a spoon to lightly swirl your crepe into a large disc, be careful not to tear the batter, if you happen to, just spoon a little batter into that spot :)  Cook for about 30 seconds on each side until lightly golden, and then stack 'em up on a platter for serving at the table. 

Of note:  you may have a crepe pan at home and if you like that give it a whirl, personally my favorite cooking surface for these is my stove top griddle ;)

This recipe works for either sweet or savory crepes, I would just omit the sugar if your fixing for a dinner crepe! 

Fill with any of your favorite *pancake* type items, like maple syrup, powdered sugar, applesauce, yogurt, peanut butter, jams, honey, strawberries and whip cream :)

Enjoy and please share your results if you try them, they are a mainstay in our family celebrations!!

No caster sugar and lemon juice? That's _my_ favourite:-)

I love these! What a wonderful idea for St. Therese's feast day. I love filling mine with Nutella...not very figure flattering, but oh so tasty! :)

I have used Canola Oil which is made from the Rapeseed {erucic acid} several times and the I got sick. I stopped using it and now my health has returned. Canada founded this oil which is not made from vegetables This product was first used to prevent problems aboard ship, then soap and insecticide. Now it is in many foods and it is as bad as fluoride.
