Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of butter
  • Super hot skillet
  • 1 dish of chopped or sliced ham
  • sliced swiss cheese 6-8 pieces
  • For dessert crepes omit ham and cheese
  • Add one chopped banana
  • 5 chopped strawberries
  • one bar of chopped chocolate
  • one can coconut Gay Lea whipped cream

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour and milk, water, sugar and salt. Blend. Add eggs. Blend with mixer. Melt butter in skillet and then pour butter into the batter. Set the batter inside the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Heat skillet to high.
  • Pour extremely thin layer of batter into the skillet. Tilt the skillet around so the crepe will fill most of the surface area. Keep a close eye and reduce heat to medium. Flip gently with fingers or a spatula when the one side looks ready.
  • Do this four times. Set each individual crepe aside and then fill with one slice of cheese each and one piece of ham (this can be shaved.)
  • Fold the sides of the crepe in. Place back in skillet for a minute or two so cheese melts.
  • Flip the bottom up and the top over and the crepe should be ready to plate.
  • For dessert crepes:
  • (If you have enough batter left just use remaining batter. If not, then repeat the recipe above.)
  • Do the above recipe but omit the ham and cheese and instead add whatever fruits and chocolate you want. For Valentine's day we added strawberries and bananas and chocolate to each.
  • Mine was just bananas and chocolate.
  • Once you have folded the dessert crepes put them in the oven for about five minutes.
  • Plate and Serve with a sprinkling of either icing sugar, or cocoa powder.
  • Top with Gay Lea Whipped Cream. And a Strawberry.
