Crepes

One of LJ's favorite things to do is go out for breakfast.  It is usually how we celebrate her birthday and often go for no particular reason.  Though I also love breakfast foods, my cheapness gene often kicks in and I feel shamed going out for something that I know I could make at home with little difficulty.

When LJ mentioned that she had crepes while visiting friends in Spokane a few weeks ago I thought to myself, "Crepes have to be easy to make.  I bet I could pull that off."  After I made them the next weekend for LJ she reminded me that I had made them a few years ago once, but never again since.  I'm not sure why I only made them that once and then completely forgot about them.  I'm not planning on letting that happen again.

I have used this recipe with great success over the last few weeks.  Having a steady supply of eggs on hand helps ensure that we always have all the necessary ingredients.  I have been filling them with homemade jam (strawberry or apricot) and topping them with a little additional syrup.  Having a really big quality pan helps as well to spread the batter around on but I'm sure it isn't really necessary.

If you are looking for a way to treat yourself or someone else crepes are the way to go.
