Crepes 2008

I woke this morning feeling very hungry, but nothing I had in the house amused me for breakfast. I checked my emails while listening to Food Network, Rachel Ray was making oatmeal pancakes. I wasn't in the mood for oatmeal or pancakes. Robin Miller was on next, she was making savory crepes. That was it! While growing up I would sleep over a friends house. She introduced me to crepes, I loved them instantly!

Be sure to read your recipe thoroughly before you begin. I quickly skimmed the recipe and missed a note about cutting the salt from 1/2 a teaspoon to 1/8 of a teaspoon if you are making sweet crepes, which I was. They tasted fine, but still, I should have read more carefully.

I used a recipe from the Joy of Cooking.

Sweet Crepes
1 cup milk
1/2 cup luke warm water
1/4 cup melted butter
4 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 cup flour

I mixed everything except the flour together. Then I whisked in the flour. They want you to let the batter rest. I was too hungry by this point to do so. I didn't not taste a difference in flavor or mouth feel by not letting the batter rest. I cooked my crepes in a regular pan, not a fancy crepe pan. As I completed each crepe I put them on a plate and then into the oven set at 200 degrees to stay warm. I am ashamed to say I ate everything on the plate in the picture. I will attempt to freeze the rest for quick breakfast meals. I filled my crepes with grape jam, not jelly, a bit of melted butter and some confectioners sugar. Yum, yum, yum!!!
