Vive les Crepes!

Here is a recipe for French Crepes:

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 cups milk (at least 1%)
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract


Directions:
Whisk eggs with milk and add vanilla extract. Add sifted flour, while stirring everything into a smooth batter.
Oil a crepe pan and place it on medium heat on the stove. Pour one ladle of the batter onto the pan, making sure it covers the pan entirely with a very thin layer. Flip to other side when bottom is cooked enough that it peels off the pan easily (be careful not to overcook because the crepe with break).

Makes about 15 crepes.

My favorite toppings:

Nutella
Raspberry
Bananas & whipped cream
Salted butter
ham, grated Swiss cheese, and mushrooms (top crepe with these ingredients when it's still in the pan, then fold crepe in half before serving)
