Crepes! Yum!

I love to make a hot breakfast for the family, but often don't have time for something elaborate. This recipe is fast and is always a hit, plus, I can make it ahead of time as well and serve another day.

Crepes-

4 eggs
1.5 cups of milk ( I usually sour with a little lemon or apple cider vinegar)
4 pinches of sea salt
3/4 cup or so of whole grain flour of your choice
--butter or olive oil for the pan


--Optional-
If serving with something sweet add any of the following ( one or more your choice)
Several dashes of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon rum flavoring or almond flavoring.
A little bit of stevia
A little bit of real maple syrup
If serving with something savory-

Several dashes of coriander
Several dashes of chili powder
A couple of pinches of cumin and tumric

To Make-

Heat up a skillet over medium heat while you mix ingredients-

In a mixing bowl mix milk, eggs and any other liquid ingredients you are adding.
Once mixed well add in dry ingredients until everything is smooth ( be sure it is very thin batter) Check skillet to see if it is hot enough by dropping a little tiny bit of water from your fingers, the skillet is the proper heat when the droplets "dance".

Quickly add a little butter to the skillet and then use just under a 1/4 cup measure for a small skillet and a little over a 1/4 cup for a large one, quickly pour batter and immediately lift and rotate skillet so that the batter is very thin and covers the whole skillet. Wait a few moments while the crepe cooks through and then flip over for a moment and cook and then remove to a plate in your oven on warm while your cook the rest or to a waiting plate of a hungry friend, spouse or child. Continue until you have finished all the batter. ( Warning you may have to start over I usually do as everyone wants more)

They are great plain, but usually you will want to fill them with something and roll them up.

Things to serve them with....

yogurt of any sort
fruit of any sort ( soft, so either fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries, or baked fruit like apples)
sour cream
steamed veggies
cheese sauce
cream sauce
syrup
apple sauce
use your imagination!
Also good rolled around sausages ( according to my son, I have not tried so cannot personally endorse)

I like to make these up ahead of time ( although this is hard to do since everyone wants them right off the stove) They make nice snacks and quick lunches and break fasts.

Hope you enjoy as much as we do!
