I will provide the basic crepe recipe, then suggestions for what to fill them with.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (this is key, soft butter will make your crepes weird and crunchy, which is the opposite of what you're going for)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (yes, even for savory crepes)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whisk all ingredients together, just until combined. Don't try to whisk away your troubles, if you feel like going crazy hit the gym first. These are delicate crepes, not a workout.
- Using a measuring cup (1/4 cup is the best, I've found), pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto a hot skillet. You want to use a large, flat skillet. Tip the pan (kind of like slow-motion swirling) to spread out the batter into a thin coating, then let it cook for about 2 minutes. Use a large flat spatula to flip the crepe and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side, then set aside on a plate (cover with a paper towel to keep warm). Repeat with the remaining batter until you've used it up.
- Fill your crepes by spooning the filling in the middle then roll them up and serve (think burritos!).
Savory
- Diced and sauteed ham, mushrooms, onions, and swiss cheese

- Cream cheese, jalapenos, bacon
