Crepes

Here is my stand by crepe recipe. We get in a kick and eat them 3 or 4 weekends in a row. I have modified the recipes that I have had over the years to make them the way I like them.

Crepes

1c. Flour
1/4c. Sugar
1 tsp Baking Power
1 1/2 c. Milk
2 Eggs
1 T. Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter (optional)
Dash Salt

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, push to one side of the bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the empty side of the bowl, whip together with a wire whisk. Combine the ingredients, mix only until they are completely mixed. Some small lumps are fine. Pour approx. 1/2 cup of batter into hot, lightly oiled pan or grill, spread batter out to desired size. Turn to cook both sides. Fill with favorite jam or fruit filling. Enjoy.

I like to make some fresh fruit filling for mine. I had blackberries this weekend. It is hard to put measurements to things that I never measure, but I have tried to make a good guess for you.

Fruit Filling

2 c Fresh fruit, cleaned and sliced if needed
1/4 c Corn Starch
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Water
1/4 c Water

Add fruit, sugar and 1/4 c water to a small sauce pan over medium heat. Mix corn starch and 1/4 c cool water in a small dish. Once the water begins to boil stir in the corn starch mixture. Bring to a boil stirring to keep from scorching. Boil until desired thickness. Enjoy.

And we can't enjoy the fresh fruit filling without whipped cream. We make ours at home. Again with the never measure.

Homemade Whipped Cream

1 - 2 c. Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 c. Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla (I love my Mexican WHITE vanilla)

Add cream to a frozen bowl and begin beating with frozen beaters on high. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat until desired thickness.

TIP: Yes the frozen speeds up the process. Remember you are beating air into the cream, bring your beaters to the surface but don't make a mess. (Momma hates cleaning whipped cream off of the walls)

Now that all of that is make put them together.

I like to dust them with a little powder sugar for presentation.
