crepes

my love for crepes started when i worked at anthropologie. i worked with a lovely french woman who used to bring them in every time we had a meeting. perfectly browned and simply sprinkled with sugar then rolled up. the steam from the hot crepe melts the sugar and turns the crepe into this wondrous sweet thing with a lovely texture, and buttery smell. perfect. i made them saturday morning for us. and they were just how i remembered, but her addition of french accent will always make hers better.

crepes


1 c flour
1 T sugar
1/4 t salt
1 1/3 c milk
1 T vanilla
3 eggs
3 T melted butter


sugar for sprinkling on crepes

1. In a large bowl combine the flour sugar and salt.

2. In a large measuring cup combine the milk, vanilla, eggs and melted butter. Mix with a fork to break up the eggs.

3. While whisking rapidly, slowly pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk until very well combined. I keep the whisk in the bowl and continue to mix the batter occasionally as I make the crepes.

4. Heat an 8" non-stick skillet to medium heat. I used a paper towel with butter to coat the pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter into pan and tilt pan so that batter covers pan in a thin layer. Cook until the edges start to lightly brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip over and cook for a few more seconds until done. I sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar over the crepe and roll them up in the pan and keep them covered with aluminum foil to keep them warm until they are ready to serve.
