Crepes

Story:
My favorite breakfast all growing up!!  Crepes.  My mom called them French Pancakes.  One of Ben's patients gave him (the following) recipe and she called them Swedish Pancakes.  Whatever you call them, they are great.  I think I had them every year on my birthday for my special birthday breakfast.

And yet somehow I forgot about them until recently. [Well, I don't know if I totally forgot, but I never really liked the idea of me standing at the stove making crepes while everyone else was already sitting and enjoying...]  Well, I made them for my kids last Sunday, and they all loved them as well.

I like them with strawberries and whipped cream.  I've seen them with pudding inside.  Whatever you want, really.  My mom told me that my sister makes them with chicken or something inside as a dinner dish... gotta get that "recipe" from her!

Please note that this recipe is already doubled from the original.  I tripled it when I made it last Sunday, and that was too much, so I think I'll always use this double version for my family.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
2 1/2 C milk
1 1/2 C sifted flour
2 T sugar
1 t salt

Directions:
Beat the eggs and stir in the milk.  Sift the dry ingredients and add to the mixture.
I need to use a little non-stick spray on my pan first (but I wipe it a little with a paper towel so the spray flavor doesn't get on the crepe).
Spread a thin layer in the hot pan and when it slides a little, flip once.
Make a whole pile, and enjoy!
