French Crepes Recipe: 5-10 mins

Today's meal was french crepe both as main course and dessert. You can fill it literally with anything you want as long as it is small and can be rolled up. I ate french crepe for 3 days in a row for my lunch, and midnight snack because it was so good. Oh and cooking time is under 5 mins if you make these crepes ahead of schedule and you can eat these cold straight out of the fridge.

RECIPE: French Crepe (Basic)
Tip: make double the amount and refrigerate so you can make this same dish in under 5 mins aka the time it takes to fill

DIRECTIONS

1. Sift together flour, sugar and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk together with an electric mixer. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; stir in melted butter.

I'm lazy so I go light on salt & sugar so I use the same crepe batter for main course and dessert. inevitably you'll eat more of one type and therefore run out so its better to have a general crepe base than a sweet or salty base.

Savory Filling: anything goes from gourmet to spam. Here's what I ate for the last 3 days.
curry chicken with potatoes & carrots, ham & cheese, shrimp salad with lettuce, mint, tomato, peanut sauce.

Dessert Filling: Nutella, peanut butter, jelly, jam with fresh fruit, whipped cream, smores type
if making dessert crepes you can flavor your batter with more sugar and add in syrups like chocolate, strawberry etc or your favorite liquore.
