French Crepes


Yes, these are definitely French Crepes.
Why do you ask?
Some years ago we had a French student, Stephane, stay with us for awhile.
He was only 13 years old, but he definitely knew how to make crepes.
I hadn't made them in a long time, but decided to make them recently.
Oh, are they good.  I had forgotten.
It won't be so long the next time.
We filled them with some berries and cream cheese,
with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
My son put bacon and cheese in his.
Also love fresh squeezed lemon with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
I think almost anything would be good inside.

Here is Stephane's recipe:
French Crepes

6 eggs
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Almost 1 2/3 cup of flour
Scant teaspoon of salt
2 cups milk
1 cup water

Mix and let rest awhile.
Then cook in crepe pan or rounded side skillet.

Enjoy!

    I love crepes! It's been a while since I made them, too. My 9-year-old nephew is coming to visit this weekend, and I think I'll make some for him the first morning he's here. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!

    Haven't made crepes in years! Julia said the first one is always a throwaway. Did you get your first one out in one piece?

    One of my favorite foods! Our recipe for them has been handed down in the family from my father's sisters. Now that we have to eat gluten-free, the recipe has been converted to use cornstarch instead of wheat, and they are just as good or better.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe and memories.
