I love crepes and always have. Since I first heard of them in high school home economics class I was literally hooked. I haven't made many crepes these past several years though mainly due to the fact that John just doesn't like them. When faced with the choice between crepes and pancakes he will nearly always pick regular pancakes.

Recently I made them and he asked "Why make them, they're just flat pancakes?"

I didn't have an answer for him then, but like ten minutes later it came to me. "They're lower in sugar (no sugar added), higher in protein because there's more egg and there's less of them so they're honestly better for you!" While marginally true, he looked at me and he said "Alright, give me the damn crepes".

So yesterday I made crepes again this time adapting my recipe for the blender with great results. Crepes so flaky they wave in the wind but still hold together well.

Ingredients:

1 1/3 c flour
1/2 c milk
1/2 c water
2 t butter, softened
2 eggs
Pinch of salt

How it's Done:

1. Put milk, water and eggs into the blender and blend until slightly frothy and yellow.
2. Add the flour, blend until smooth.
3. Add the butter, blend until combined.
4. Heat a pan with shallow sides, a crepe pan or in my case a tortilla pan with NO sides on medium high heat. Oil the pan with a little butter.
5. Pour between a quarter and a half of a cup of the batter into the center of the pan then pick it up and tilt it around in an attempt to coat the bottom of the pan. Not easy to do the first time but is easier to pick up than it sounds.
6. Allow to cook until the edges start to lift from the pan and it starts to smell good.
7. Flip and cook on the other side for a minute or two, less than the first side.
8. Repeat until the batter is done.

I filled these with plain greek yogurt and some strawberries and chopped walnuts with honey and maple syrup. I also topped it with those strawberries and the sauce from them. You can fill these with either sweet or savoury fillings based on taste.
