Dessert Crepes

Easy. Delicious. Quick.

Did I mention delicious??

Everyone knows that crepes are easy to make. At least, I hope everyone knows, or they are missing out on an easy and deliciously versatile food opportunity.

This recipe I made with my students today. It turned out SO well. And looked pretty too. I'm going to have to remember to take photos.

Here's the recipe:

Dessert Crepes

Yield: 20 small crepes, or 10-12 large.

Ingredients:

• 2 c. all purpose flour
• 4 eggs 
• 1 c. milk

• 1 c. water
• 4 tbsp butter , melted.
• 2 squares baker's chocolate, shaved
• 2 cups frozen mixed berries, thawed 
• 2 c. prepared whipped cream

Directions:

• Whisk flour & eggs
• Gradually add milk & water
• Add  butter, beat until smooth
• Heat griddle/frying pan to medium-high heat. Scoop about ¼ c. of batter onto the hot surface with your ladle. Tilt pan to spread batter evenly. (Use 1/2 c. of batter for large crepes.)
• Cook for about 2 minutes, flip & cook another minute.
• Turn onto a plate & keep warm in an oven heated to 200 degrees.

To serve: Fill crepe with ice cream. Roll, top with light dusting of icing sugar, sprinkle with choc shavings, add a dollop of whipped cream and a spoonful of the mixed berries. Serve & enjoy!!!

Some ideas, you say? Well, :

- Add a dash of cinnamon to your batter and serve with ice cream & apple pie filling.

- Serve with maple syrup

- Toss some sliced chives or spring onion into the batter & serve with "Chinese" hot & sour soup.
