We were given a crepe maker for a wedding gift. You don't need one to make crepes but it sure makes it easy! Tonight we had chicken crepes for dinner (chicken, spinach & cheese w/ a chicken gravy) and apple pie filling and strawberry crepes with vanilla ice cream for dessert! Oh the possibilities...
Basic Crepe Batter
1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Place ingredients in blender. Blend 30 seconds. Stop and stir down sides. Blend 30-60 seconds more until smooth. Or, mix in bowl with wire whisk or mixer, first combining flour and eggs, adding liquid gradually. Beat until smooth; add other ingredients. Makes about 16 crepes.
I pour my batter into a shallow pie plate and then dip the crepe maker in the plate quickly. Then I allow the crepe to cook for about a minute. If you don't have a crepe maker I'm sure you could spray a frying pan and cook them that way. The key would be minimal batter in the pan so your crepe stays thin.
