this past saturday i made my mom's crepe recipe and served them with my aunt sweetie'shomemade black raspberry jam. i can remember standing around the stove on the mornings my mom made crepes, holding out a plate to catch them fresh and hot out of the skillet. it wasn't until i went to italy that i had crepes with fillings other than aunt sweetie jam. while nutella and fresh fruit are delicious, i think i will always prefer them rolled up with this jam, and drizzled with a bit of syrup.
crepes
mom's recipe
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 eggs
combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. in a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients and stir into dry ingredients until combined (will be runnier than pancake batter).
lightly butter a 10-inch skillet. pour 1/2 cup batter into the pan, and allow to cook for a few minutes (you will start to see tiny bubbles). flip and cook a couple minutes on the other side.
repeat with remaining batter and serve hot with jam and syrup (or other desired fillings).
makes 10-12 crepes.
