A Crepe of a Good time!

I finally made crepes this past weekend and as you'll see below they were easy-peasy to make! My love for Paris has never diminished ever since I lived there 5 summers ago. Hemingway put it best, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young [wo]man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast." Ah...the nostalgia. Anyway go dig into your inner Francophile and make these yummy crepes, you will not regret it. So tres chic!


*Ingredients: (makes about 8)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup (soy)milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbs (vegan)butter, melted
2 tbs lemon curd
powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)


First, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

 Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Remove from pan and add a dollop of lemon curd. Fold in half lengthwise, then in half again width wise, to create a wedge shape. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
