Crepes!

Hey guys!
This post is a little late since we made this almost 2 weeks ago but still! I thought I would still put it up. Back when we were in Slovenia, Sebastian's grandmother made us crepes and damn were they ever good! At the time we had Nutella to put inside and really what more do you need? However, for our little 'crepe party' we pulled out all the stops and got as much fruit as we could, ice cream as well as the usual Nutella. There is no real exact recipe for crepes more of a 'guideline'. Like adding a little of this and a little of that until it makes the right consistency. Which is why I won't be giving you a true recipe break down as I usually do. Sorry!!

Basically, the ingredients are these:
Flour
Milk
2 eggs (usually, depending on how big the batch)
Very little sugar, perhaps a tablespoon or two depending on your taste
and maybe a little Vanilla as well

Using a beater or a whisk you can stir everything together until you get a fairly thick batter. Not too thick however. You will get to know what is too thick and what is too thin once you start to make them. If its too thick, add more milk, too thin - add more flour. It's really quite simple.

If you have a crepe pan they are quite easy to make uniform. Usually, I spray some 'Pam' onto the pan after every 2-3 crepes so they won't stick. Again, it all depends on your pan. When I put them in my crepe pan, I use about 1 ladle of mix and spread it around the pan to make it even.

To get an idea of the process, here are some pics that may help! Enjoy your crepe making and don't forget at the very least to have some Nutella on hand ha ha!
