Recipe: Crepes

This is my basic crepe recipe I have used for years. You can revise it in a number of ways to suit what you plan to fill it with. For one thing…. if the crepe will be a crepe with a sweet filling…. I add one teaspoon vanilla to the batter…. if the filling is savory…. I usually leave the batter plain. You can add subtle spice to the crepe too…. personally… I’d rather the filling be the star of the event…. The crepe just makes it that much better.
