Making stuff to eat

Not really wanting a particular direction to go with this blog, I do plan on transcribing particular recipes that my family enjoys. I would love to make a family cookbook, but who knows when that will really happen. For the time being, here is Tillie's favourite crepes recipe.


Crepes
(wish I could figure out how to remember how to do the correct accent on this computer.)

3 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (opt.)
1 cup milk
pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, or 1/2 c. all-purpose and 1/2 c. whole wheat
2 tablespoons melted buter, cooled

Nutella
Cinnamon-sugar
Jam

Blend the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and milk. Beat in the flour with a whisk, and then beat in the melted butter. The consistency of the batter should be that of heavy cream. 

In a very hot frying pan with a small amount of butter, pour in about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter spreads evenly over the bottom. As soon as the top is dry, turn the crepe over. 

Top with desired filling and fold. We like these filled with scrambled eggs, etc.
