Crepes


What you need:
1 3/4 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 eggs
5 tablespoons butter, melted

Get Cookin':
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl...
Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl...
then pour into flour mixture and whisk...
then whisk butter in.
Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Add more milk if needed to make it the consistency of heavy cream...
I usually have to add more.

Heat a skillet, brush with butter...
pour in about 1/2 a cup of batter and turn and tilt until the pan is covered.
Let sit until it looks set...
little bubbles appear...
and the sides turn up a little.
Use a spatula and flip it!

Than spread with Nutella...
or anything else your little heart desires!

Yum-o!

My MOST Favorite...

Preheat oven to 375.
Unroll dough and separate wedges.
Put a little slab of almond paste (freeze the rest for later) on the wedge...
then put a chocolate square on top.
Roll up the crescent.
Sprinkle some sugar on top.
Bake as package directs!
After they are done you can:
drizzle with melted chocolate,
powdered sugar,
raspberry jam to dip? Or put inside?

Oh! They are SOSOSOSO GOOD!!
