Crepes (this one's for you Carlie :))

Have made these multiple times-- oh so yummy! My favorite is to fill with cream cheese filling and strawberries but you could really fill with anything! And these really work well with sweet or savory!

{Crepes}
1 c. four
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs
2 c. milk
1 Tbs. vanilla
2 Tbs. butter, melted

1. Sift dry ingredients together in bowl and set aside.
2. In large bowl, beat eggs. Then beat in milk and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture slowly until mixed well.
3. Stir in melted butter quickly to incorporate fully (before it hardens back up). Chill batter for 40 min-1 hour (1 hour is best).
4. Keep crepe pan on medium (my stove it's 3 1/2-4 on number scale). Spray with nonstick spray (works best!). Pour a small amount of batter (1/3+ cup) into pan and quickly swirl pan around to cover the entire bottom.
5. When the crepe begins to bubble and brown on edges, flip over to other side by gently jerking the pan to loosen the crepe, or use a spatula.
6. Place on paper towel and cover with foil.
7. Re-spray pan between each crepe.

{Cream Cheese Filling}
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
1 c. Confectioners sugar
1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. vailla

Mix well and spread in crepe.

{Possible fillings}
Cream Cheese, Nutella, Peanut butter, Yogurt, & Fruit
Don't forget to the many savory options-- I myself have yet to try this so not sure on recommendations.
Enjoy!!
