Breakfast Crepes

Sky High Crepes

Crepes, one of my favorite foods on Earth. I love them plain or filled, with sweet or savory. Give me thin and delicate over their thick and fluffy pancake sisters anytime.

Taking a hiatus from baking cakes this week, but not ready to hang my baking mittens, I decided to give these thin pancakes a go, and prepare some yummy breakfast for the family as well.

Drizzle Of Honey

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, whisk into a smooth batter.

4. Remove from heat and ladle a small amount of batter into pan.
5. Swirl to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Cook for 45 - 60seconds, until the edges turns light brown and start to come away from the pan.
7. Carefully flip over and cook the other side for 30-60seconds until the bottom is lightly brown as well.
8. Pile the crepes as they are made and cover with a cloth as the remainder are being cooked.
   

Crepes Staked Up High, Ready For The Spreadin'

Once the crepes are ready to go, it is a free for all. You can have them plain, covered with yogurt and fresh berries, filled with nutella and bananas...whatever tickles your fancy! This morning, I have dressed mine up simply with honey in one half and jam in the the other.

Wrap & Roll!

Be careful not to fill them up too much, else the crepes will split when you try to roll them up. Carefully fold one edge over, roll, fold the 2 sides over, roll all the way. Easy peasy. :)

It may be breakfast, but who's to say you cannot have them with a big scope of ice cream and chocolate sauce as well? ;)

Enjoy!
