crepes

I love the flexibility of options with crepes-- kids have add fruit and syrup, I can add ham and cheese, but will admit I do get stressed out every time I make this recipe from foodnetwork.com. I have to remember to use cooking spray (and lots of it) instead of butter to keep them from sticking  seeing I don't own any non-stick pans, and somehow I always forget that step. Maybe writing it here will help me remember!

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Butter, for coating the pan (USE COOKING SPRAY!)
Directions
  1. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
  2. Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.
