Easiest Crepe Recipe Ever!!

MR - Having spent a semester in Paris, I'm very partial to French foods, especially crepes.  You can get sweet dessert crepes or savoury dinner crepes.  You can buy them from a stand on the corner, and they are still amazing!

My dad always used to make the best crepes (we called them Skinny Pancakes).  We knew whenever it was Dad's turn to cook, we'd either have BBQ or Skinny Pancakes!

I've tried a few different recipes when making my own, but I always come back to this easy one I learned in France, partially because it's so easy to remember!

Here it is:

Combine the following ingredients in a bowl, mix until smooth:
1 egg
1 cup of milk (plus a little more if necessary)
1 cup of flour

That's it.  So simple.  Easy to increase for bigger appetites (with my four  boys we usually triple or quadruple it) or to just make a small amount.  It's very versatile, and works well with substitutions.  I've used half whole wheat flour (sometimes even all whole wheat).  I've used some water along with the milk when I was low on milk.  And it always turns out great.  You could add a bit of sugar, or a pinch of salt, depending on your taste.

The only thing I do is add some more liquid, once it's all mixed together - you want a very thin, runny batter.

The batter also works well having sat in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight.

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto a hot greased skillet.  Immediately tilt the pan in all directions to make the thinnest crepe possible.  Flip after about a minute or so.

Fill with any topping you like.  We enjoy these combinations: banana slices & peanut butter;  lemon juice & white sugar; or any fresh fruit and whipped cream.  Mmmm....
