Crepes
(aka Palacinkas, to
my Slovak family!)
These seem
intimidating to make… they are usually something you order when you go out to a
nice place. HOWEVER, they are really the most basic, simple, tasty treats to
make. They can be stuffed with sweet or savory fillings as a breakfast, lunch,
side dish, main dish, or dessert!
The batter:
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups of flour
Place the flour in large mixing bowl, pour in the eggs and
milk and whisk slowly. It should be a very thin, smooth batter.
Heat a large skillet to medium with a pad of butter to coat
the pan. Ladle in (I use one ladle filled to the top) a scoop of the batter and
quickly swirl it (using your wrist and the handle of the pan) around the entire
pan to make a large, even coat. Each side only needs to cook for a minute or
so. Look for the edges to start to brown, then flip. Stack the cakes on a warm
plate and get your favorite fillings ready!
The batter
swirled evenly in the pan
flipped once
plated and ready to be stuffed with peanut butter, nutella, and bananas!
rolled up and topped with a little more nutella, peanut butter, and a pinch of salt and sugar!
Enjoy, Mr. Smith!
Mmm that looks wonderful! Great pictures Ash!
