"Make your own french crepes!" by Jacqueline C

I’m sure you have all tried French Crepes before. If you haven’t then you are missing out! Every year during christmas, my family sets up a stand to sell crepes in our village in Mexico. During those days, many families set up stands and sell what they desire. There is music and dancing and many games for the children. Many people look forward to our crepe stand each year and so do we! We also make these delicious, sweet treats here at home year-round. So stop paying for overpriced Crepes at the mall and make them yourself at home:
Ingredients:

• ●  One cup of all purpose flour
  
• ●  One teaspoon of white sugar
  
• ●  A pinch of salt
  
• ●  Two eggs
  
• ●  Two cups of milk
  
• ●  Two tablespoons of melted butter
  
• ●  Cooking Spray
  Suggested Topping(s) : ● Nutella
  

• ●  Lechera
  
• ●  Cream Cheese
  
• ●  Strawberries
  
• ●  Bananas
  
• ●  Powdered Sugar
  Tools/Supplies:
  

• ●  Sifter
  
• ●  Frying pan (large or small depending on how big you want the crepes)
  
• ●  Large Bowl
  
• ●  Ladle
  
• ●  Spatula
  Instructions
  

1. Mix all wet ingredients (this doesn’t include the cooking spray) together in a large bowl.
   
2. Sift in all dry ingredients and mix together. This step is important to prevent clumps.
   
3. Heat up the frying pan on the stove on Medium-Low.
   
4. Spray pan with cooking spray. Without this step, you will struggle to flip your crepe.
   
5. Poor a ladleful of the mixture you just made onto the pan and quickly rotate the pan in
   circular motions to spread the mixture.
   
6. After 30 seconds, carefully flip the crepe with a spatula.
   
7. Wait another 30 seconds then remove the crepe from the pan onto a plate.
   
8. Add toppings of your choice then fold your crepe and serve!
   

This recipe is one of my favorites because it is very easy and fun to make. My personal favorite toppings are strawberries and Nutella. The sweetness from the chocolate and the fresh tart taste from the strawberries make the perfect combination in my opinion. Go creative with the toppings you choose, or feel free to add a few changes to the crepe recipe itself. For example, you can make breakfast crepes by topping it with ham, cheese, sour cream, or sausage. The possibilities are endless. For more fluffy crepes, add another egg. If your crepe keeps falling apart, add some more flour. And don’t forget to spray the pan with cooking spray oftenly. Keep in mind, you will need practice and not every crepe will turn out perfect. Enjoy!
