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.

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.
