Easy Crepes

I know that many recent college grads don't know much about cooking meals beyond mac & cheese or lean cuisine (myself included). My newly-married friend Krista recently asked me for a recipe of something nummy I mentioned in a tweet. Unfortunately, I must admit that I bought that last nummy thing I mentioned and did not make it myself...





yeah. Sorry Krista.





That being said... I will claim the fact that I did make de-lic-cious crepes (or creeps, as Bryant likes to call them) last week, and they were surprisingly easy to make.



This is what I did:

I used an Æbleskiver Pancake Mix that I got for Christmas from my Danish mother. (Æbleskiver pancakes are a Christmasy Danish pancake that are round & made using a special pan... also given to me by my Mor).

Preheat skillet to med/low
Whisk together:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp veg oil

I wipe the pan with a stick of butter instead of spray or oil because I like the taste better. The more, the yummier.

Then, pour 1/4 cup of batter on skillet and let cook on each side for less than a minute.

Crepe batter is thinner than normal pancakes, so a little goes a long way... plus, it burns quicker. So I would recommend you don't multi task while you make these. :)

While I made those, Bryant thawed some frozen berries and mixed them with some sugar.

I hope I haven't lost your attention, Krista, because I found a link to an easy recipe with a mix you can get at the grocery store (and not Williams Sonoma). That link also has some good serving suggestions for breakfast and supper.

Let me know what you think and I'll put up some other ideas Bryant and I get as we play in the kitchen.
