Crepes! Crepes to all!

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I figured since my blog is named "Words and Crepes", I have to have an entry about crepes. God Bless the French for creating them.They are perhaps my favorite food, not favorite dessert but favorite food. Yea, I am that into them. I'm even eating one in my profile picture! Anything goes with them because they are not too sweet and not too salty. For possibly half of my life, I've had crepes twice a week. During Elementary and Middle School mornings, my grandmother would make me some crepes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. In high school, it was on the weekends. In college, I had to cook them myself whenever I was in the mood for them. Even to this day, whenever I come home for a few days, my first morning home my mom has cooked some crepes. Not to mention a whole bunch of other food that I have expressed to my mother that I enjoy eating. But that is what happens when you have a Jewish mother :D. 

Anyway, here is a recipe on how to make your own crepes. They are very simple to make. You only need about 40 minutes to make them. Batter is 5 minutes and the rest is cooking them. The perk is that while they are being cooked on your pan, you have time to do whatever else that needs to be done - cleaning up and washing the used bowls, making the bed, cleaning out the dishwasher, changing your clothes, peeing, etc. Time used for quick tasks.

Now this recipe I have adapted from AllRecipes.com but there are a bunch of different variations that can be found online. The ingredients might be the same but the quantity of each is probably different. Also, the size of your pan does not matter, it really depends on how big you want your crepes to be. They have started to sell pans specifically for crepes in the US (http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-504670/de-Buyer-Blue-Steel-Crepe-Pans). But you don't have to buy one, any pan will do. If you do get a crepe pan, then you can also get the crepe spreader and open up your own creperie!

Bon Appetit!
