Food of the Month

February in France is the month for making crepes. For all those who aren't familiar with crepes think of a think unsweetened pancake that you can top with sweet or salty sauces. Crepes are an easy meal or a great snack.

For all those who are looking for an easy dinner idea as versitile as you are creative. I am including a basic recipe for crepes.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
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. Serve hot.

Filling Ideas: ham and cheese, spinach and cream, mushrooms and bacon, etc. Sweet crepes: Nutella, peanutbutter, lemon juice and sugar, butter & cinnamon and sugar, whip cream, ice cream and chocolate sauce, strawberries & whipped cream.

Use your imagination and eat crepes!
