Prep Time: 10 Min Cook Time: 2-4 min per crepe
Ready In: 30 Min
Ingredients
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon salt
- Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese
- Fresh uncooked Spinach
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk, and salt, stirring to combine. Beat until smooth.
- Heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/3 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. (Don’t worry if they are not a perfect circle.)
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot .
Suggestions:
Stack your crepes in a foiled cover plate to keep warm.
Add butter in between each crepe.
Add Spinach and Cheese to each crepe and fold or roll in to a shape (I like triangle shape)
Add a dressing such as vinaigrette or ranch dressing .
Crepes should be thin (Not like a pita or a pancake!).
