Crepes

It's summer!!!

What better way to celebrate than making, and especially eating, crepes! My children love to fill them with whipping cream and strawberries. My husband likes them with bananas and chocolate. With this recipe, how you serve them is up to you. Happy Cooking!

Crepes

3 c. milk
6 eggs
1 Tbs. melted butter or oil
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. xanthan gum
1 c. Featherlight mix
½ c. GF mix

In a large bowl, beat milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Slowly add salt, xanthan gum and flours. Mix until the batter is the consistency of heavy cream.

Heat a 6-inch crepe pan or a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. (If your pan is older, it sometimes helps to spray it with non-stick cooking spray.) Spoon 2 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the bottom of the pan. Move pan from side to side to coat bottom.

Brown the crepe on one side and then flip with a spatula and brown the other side. Keep warm in the oven. Serve with your favorite toppings.

These can be frozen to use later. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Makes approximately 15 crepes.

Topping Ideas: whipped cream, any fresh fruit, cinnamon and sugar, syrup, butter, chicken, sausage and eggs, tomatoes and bacon, powdered sugar, hard boiled eggs, cream cheese and jam.

And I thought about years; how they take so long and they go so fast.

 So.  It's been a while.  This is what I've been working on for the last year and a half or so: 

Not the costumes, the children.  I did make the costumes, but that's beside the point.  Those only took up a couple of days.  The children, on the other hand, take up all sorts of time . . . especially the smallest one.  She's getting more independent all the time, but she still smiles ecstatically when I walk in the room . . . it is probably a ploy to keep me paying attention to her, but it's still irresistible. 

See how cute that is?  Ooooh, and look at this one: 

Who can resist that sort of a face?  I sure can't.  So I have neglected this blog shamefully. 

It's not that I haven't been cooking, because I have.  But I just haven't taken the time to write anything down.  Well, this morning I got up and made crepes for my daughter's birthday breakfast and I decided that I should put it up on the blog.  Whee!  So I took some beautiful pictures and got on to type up a post and wrote all the preceding and then decided I should check and see if we had already posted about crepes.  And we have.  :(  So I guess I won't retype in the recipe.  But here's a new picture:
