Crepes


I got this crepe recipe from my sister-in-law, who is an AMAZING cook. So trust me when I say these are delicious!

DANISH PANCAKES -AKA: CREPES

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional)
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
milk
*Not sure on the amount of milk. I usually just keep adding milk until it is thin enough. I like mine to be about the consistency of egg nog.

1. Mix all ingredients together. Leaving the milk to the last. Beat until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly


3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
