How to Make Crepes

Published February 14, 2011 | By Jennifer Sikora

My Valentine dinner turned out fabulous! From the steaks and mushrooms all the way down to the crepes and the chocolate covered strawberries.

I will be the first to tell you that crepes are EASY to make and they look scrumptious! The batter is thin and cooks up quick.

As you can see, my crepes did not look that good in the pan. However, once they came out and cooled off, I transformed them into this!

Dessert was DIVINE! My husband and kids both said that these looked good enough to be served in a restaurant. It took me a total of 10 minutes to put them together from start to finish.

For our main course we had steak and baked potato with cabbage salad and I added mushrooms to my plate!

Everything turned out SO good.

Here is the recipe for the crepes! Hope you enjoy.

Crepes

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup milk
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

In a blender combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and oil. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into pan, tilting to completely coat the surface of the pan. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.

~To make chocolate covered strawberries, all you need is chocolate bark (the pack that you melt that comes in a big block) and strawberries. Once you chocolate is melted, just dip the strawberries and let them harden. I stuffed my crepes with whipped cream.

How was your Valentine’s Day?
