Ingredients
- 1/2 flour
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 milk
- 1 tablespoon dark rum (or 1 teaspoon vanilla)
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Dash salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Filling of your choice: strawberries, blueberries, peaches, cooked apples, chocolate hazelnut spread, sugar with lemon juice, and cinnamon sugar are all popular sweet options. Savory options include chicken, goat cheese, chive and onion cream cheese, cream cheese with everything bagel seasoning, asparagus and sausage, bacon and cheddar cheese.
- Optional Toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, sour cream
Directions
Mix flour and egg with 1/4 cup of the milk, stirring with whisk until batter is smooth.
Mix in remaining milk, add rum or vanilla, sugar and salt, and stir until well combined. (Should measure about 1 1/3 cups.) Divide butter into 4 equal pieces. Melt 1 piece in large 10-12 inch skillet. When butter is hot, add about 1/3 cup batter; swirl pan to coat bottom. Cook over medium to high heat for about 2 minutes on first side (until nicely browned) then turn and cook for 1 minute until second side is done. Repeat with remaining butter and batter to make 3 more crepes. Fill crepes while warm and roll. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with sour cream, whipped cream or a combination of both, if desired.
