Vanilla Crepes

Crepes are a good basic recipe for breakfast or desert. You can fill it with all sorts of things, healthy or otherwise. I only put the recipe for the crepes themselves below, but you can put whatever you want in them.

Vanilla Crepes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Dairy-Free Vanilla Crepes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons melted margarine or 6 tablespoons vegetable oil


Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl mix together the milk/water, eggs, and vanilla. They should be mixed until the eggs are just this side of frothy.
  2. Stir in the melted butter/margarine/vegetable oil.
  3. Fold in the flour, sugar, and salt.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent the crepes from sticking.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and spread the batter to the edges.
  7. When bubbles form on the top and edges are dry, flip it over and cook until lightly browned on the other side and the edges are golden.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the 
  9. Fill the crepes.
  10. Serve.

Recipe Notes:

  • This recipe turns out much the same whether you use milk or water and extra margarine, so I would recommend using water and margarine rather than worrying about getting milk. You can use the last tablespoon in the stick or butter or margarine to coat the pan.
  • The amount of batter should just cover the bottom of the pan so they will cook rather quickly. You have to be careful not to cook them for too long as they can burn quite quickly.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe and please let me know if you have any questions.

Why Politics was Never Meant to be an American Career

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” - Thomas Paine This attitude toward government as being anywhere between a necessary evil to an intolerable one comes from a reflection on how the American revolution was fought not for government, but for liberty from a tyrannical rule, with the establishment of the American republic being only a means to that end. This understanding of government as a means to liberty is foundational to the United States, yet is a philosophy fading with time.  I will not go as far as to say that the Founding Fathers disliked the idea of government in general, but they had a comprehensive understanding of the imperfection of all human governing systems. Although the concepts of law, hierarchy, and authority are divine, government is a human institution, which means it is imperfect. No matter how many protections and precautions one takes when founding such an establishment, there will always be...

Breakfast Scramble

  I ate this recipe almost every day over Christmas break, and it remains one of my favorites. This recipe is great because it is simple and easy to make. I make this recipe without cheese, but for anyone who can have it with cheese, I highly recommend doing so. This recipe does not have any gluten or nuts in it. As for the meat, you can keep it out and eat this on Fridays, choose one meat, or choose several. My preference is to use either Italian sausage or turkey lunchmeat and so I will give directions for both options, but you can use most other lunch meats in place of or in addition to turkey and breakfast sausage, ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey in place of Italian sausage. As for serving, I usually just eat this on its own, but sometimes have it in a tortilla or with toast or a muffin. Essentially, this can go with any number of things. Breakfast Scramble with Italian Sausage Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of oil 2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) 2 teaspoons of pepp...

Peanut Butter Cookies

As Lent begins next week, this will be my last dessert recipe for a while. My plan for Lent is to only publish recipes which are completely meatless, mainly different meal options but possibly a few bread recipes. But until Lent begins, I hope that you enjoy these cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are probably the most famous, but peanut butter cookies are one of my favorites. Using oats adds a nice flavor to the cookies without overwhelming them. Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup honey 1 cup peanut butter 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup oats Instructions: Cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the honey and peanut butter. Mix in the egg. Add the salt and baking powder. Fold in the flour and oats. Chill the cookie dough for at least two hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Shape the cookies into small balls placing them on the cookie sheet about an inch apart. Cross hatch the ...
