Amazing & Easy Basic Crepes

"I got this recipe from an OLD "Pillsbury Kitchens' Family Cookbook". I have been using this recipe since I was in High School, so that should tell you how EASY they are to put together and they are such a hit! You can do anything with them. Add fruits for a yummy breakfast dish, chicken and cheeses for a dinner dish (VERY good), or sweet fillings and powdered sugar for a dessert."

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1⁄3 cups milk
  • 2 2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Directions

  • In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly.
  • Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • (Batter may be covered and refrigerated up to 2 hours or cooked immediately).
  • Heat crepe pan or 7 or 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat (375*F).
  • A few drops of water sprinkled on the pan sizzle and bounce when heat is just right.
  • Grease pan lightly.
  • Pour about 3 tablespoons batter into pan, tilting pan to spread evenly.
  • When crepe is light brown and set, turn to brown other side.
  • Remove from pan.
  • Repeat with remaining batter to make about 14 crepes; stack cooked crepes.
  • Fill crepes with desired filling or cool, wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
  • FOR DESSERT CREPES, add 2 tablespoons sugar to batter.
  • To freeze, layer crepes with 2 sheets of waxed paper; wrap and store up to 3 months.
