SwEeT & SaVoRy CREPES

So, I really love crepes and hadn't made them for a super long time. I decided to go for it tonight for dinner. I was orginally just going to make the sweet crepes and then it evolved into savory as well. They were all very yummy!  The basic crepe recipe is as follows and then be creative with the rest.

Crepes:
1 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. melted butter
1 1/2 c. sifted flour

Stir all ingredients together until smooth.  In a warm buttered pan, pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter (depending on desired size). Rotate pan circularly until the batter is thin and even in the pan. Cook until it looks set up enough to turn and then turn with spatula.

For SwEeT CREPES:
I set up a combination of powdered sugar, fresh whipped cream, nutella, raspberry jam, and peach jam. Let everyone fill their crepes with their own toppings and enjoy!







For SaVoRy CREPES:
After the second turn while cooking,  add cheese & meat (I used turkey) on half of the crepe. Let slowly cook until cheese melts. Add toppings such as; tomatoes, sprouts, lettuce, etc. And finish it up with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or any other sauces you'd like.  Fold the empty half over and then fold again into quarters. Serve and savor!
