Sunday Funday Brunch: French Crepes

Good Day Everyone!


I hope your having a fabulous weekend! I wanted to give you a recipe I made for my husband last weekend. I had no idea I could make crepes! These little French pancakes are so tasty! I really enjoyed them because they are not as filling as a whole pancake. They are incredibly thin and it's fun to throw some fresh fruit or mismatch certain toppings.

Surprisingly, I didn't burn the kitchen down. I was really proud of my newly acquired French cooking skills. I am really starting to love cooking different things in the kitchen. Here is the recipe and some pictures I took of a delicious Sunday brunch plate!


Vanilla Crepes Recipe:

• 2 cups milk
• 1 and 1/3 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Nutella, and or peanut butter
• Bananas
• Strawberries 
• Blackberries

Mix the egg, milk and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Next mix the flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter together.  I used my Kitchen Aid on medium speed.  Heat oil in large frying pan turn to med heat.  Add the egg mixture into the bowl and mix again until well blended.

Cut up your fresh fruit. You can add any kind of fruit. I used strawberries and bananas. Set the fruit aside and pour the mixture into the pan. Pour slowly. The mixture is thin, so you need to move the pan around to gain a thin surface around the pan. It looks similar to a pancake when it starts to look ready to flip. Usually you see the edges getting hard and bubbles in the center start to form. Flip a few times until a bit brown.

Make a few crepes and set them each flat on a plate. Fill with Nutella or peanut butter. Drop you fresh fruit around the plate. If you want a light drizzle of chocolate, warm up a little Nutella and add a bit of milk 1/4 cup or less and mix together. It creates a light drizzle of chocolate.

This little brunch dish is délectable with espresso!
