Crepes

So super easy. My husband was mad that it took like 3 years of living together before I made them. We had them fairly regularly growing up so it just seemed like a normal to me but he was amazed. Couple things to know about making crepes; 1)make them in a glass bowl it just turns out better but don't ask me why 2)if you mix it up and let it just sit in the fridge 12-24 hours it honestly tastes better when you cook them, again I'm not sure why but it truly makes a difference.

Crepes
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 tbsp oil
2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla

whisk everything together in a glass bowl and cover/put a lid on it, leave it in the fridge overnight and make them in the morning. Get out that small 6" pan that comes in all pan sets and spray or melt a little butter over medium heat. Pour in 1/4cup of the mixture and tip/roll the pan around so that you have a nice super thin layer. leave it on the heat for a minute or two just until it cooks enough to slide around the pan when you shake it. Now pretend you are a skilled short order cook and use your wrist to flip the crepe into the air to turn it (spatulas just don't work well trust me) You'll get good at this after making the dozen you'll devour, each hot off the grill rolled up with just a bit of butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar...or jam, or fruit and whip cream.
So yummy.
