Crepes


Well tomorrow is Saturday, if you are lucky someone will make you breakfast. My sister Beckie became the master of crepes when we were in high school, I even bought her a crepe pan for her birthday one year. Now you don't need a fancy pan, just your non stick fry pan will work. Crepes are great with a lot of different fillers, I love nuetella myself.
3 eggs
1 and 3/4 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Solid shortening
Fresh slices of strawberries
maple syrup (best if warm) Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk with a wire whisk and add to flour mixture. Wisk until lumps are smooth. Melt 1 tablespoon of shortening in a pan over moderately high heat. When shortening begins to smoke, it's time to add the batter. Place 2 serving spoons of batter in a circular direction. Using the back of the spoon, quickly spread the batter to cover the bottom of your pan (cast iron pans work best) and fill any holes.Flip when underside browns and sides begin to curl. Brown this side and serve immediately. Repeat with rest of batter. Garnish with fresh fruit and serve with warm maple syrup. This makes about 10 crepes. 2 crepes make a nice serving.
