  1. eggs, milk , flour, salt

    You can add cinnamon, but it won't sweeten them, only spice them.  But it would be nice w/ an apple or pear filling, I think.

    To make sweet crepes, fill w/ a sweet fililng.


  2. Dessert Crepes -- Serves 8

    INGREDIENTS

    4 eggs, lightly beaten

    1 1/3 cups milk

    2 tablespoons butter, melted

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    2 tablespoons white sugar

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    DIRECTIONS

    In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour sugar and salt until smooth.

    Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.  

  3. Crêpes are so easy to make, it's almost criminal! They always turn out consistently and are hard to ruin. The only trick is figuring out the right heat for the pan*. Another wonderful thing about crepes is that people are easily impressed by them. You might consider yourself a "beginner" in the kitchen, but making a crepe dish will always win your friends' respect.

    Ingredients

    4 eggs

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    2 cups flour

    2 cups milk

    1/2 cup melted unsalted butter

    Method

    Add ingredients in a blender. Blend for 1 minute. Scrap down sides, blend another 20 seconds.

    Refrigerate batter for at least 1 hour.

    Cook crêpes in a pan at medium – high heat.

    *Selecting the right pan to use is important, but you don’t need a crêpe pan or even a non – stick pan. You can use any sauté pan, just make sure the pan is hot enough that a bead of water will dance on its surface. Season the pan with butter before the first crepe, but afterwards there's enough butter in the batter. If the temperature is too hot the batter will splatter as it hits the pan and it the crepes will have an odd "doily" pattern. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk to the batter.

    Use about 2 to 3 tablespoons batter per crêpe. Pour into the pan and immediately swirl the pan around so the batter cotes the bottom crêpe size should be about 8 inches]. Cook for about 30 to 45 seconds, flip and cook for only about 10 more seconds.

    When done remove from pan and let cool on a rack. Can be stored until ready to serve; may be made one to two days ahead of time, refrigerated, or stacked between sheets of wax paper and sealed in a zipper freezer bag and stored indefinitely.

  7. Cook Time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients:

    3 eggs

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    1 1/4 cups milk

    1 cup all purpose flour

    1/4 cup melted butter

    Preparation:

    Beat eggs until smooth. Add milk and butter. Sift flour and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Beat until the batter is smooth. Batter will be thin, like heavy cream. If possible, let the batter rest for 2 hours at room temperature or 8 to 10 hours in the refrigerator.

    Grease skillet or crepe pan lightly; heat until fat is sizzling hot. Pour batter into pan and rotate quickly to distribute batter. If batter seems too thick, add more milk in very small amounts until consistancy is corrected.

    Cook crepe until light brown; turn to cook other side. Remove from pan, lightly grease the pan, and continue cooking until batter is used. Fill crepes with desired filling or cool, wrap and refrigerate until ready to fill.
