Virgin Crepes

It was my first time to ever attempt making crepes, and understandably, i used instant hotcake mix, just because i didnt want to risk wasting loads and loads of ingredients, just to get the proportions right.

so this is the simplified, "even-virgin-crepe-makers" recipe.here goes

beat two eggs
add 2 tablespoons of melted butter
add a cup of water

and a cup of hotcake mix
whisk the batter until it is lump free
grab a ladle and scoop out some batter and put it in the middle of the pan
spread it around to fill the pan with a thin layer of batter. if there are holes, simply fill them in with more batter. recipes say that you should cook crepes in low heat, but i found that they cook thinner if i use high heat..but, try it out to find out what works for you
scrape the sides of the crepe with a knife and then lift it off the pan. by the way, you should use a non-stick pan or a really really really seasoned one
now for the filling... i grabbed a can of tuna in water, put a little pepper, salt, basil and cheese and blended all the ingredients. most people would put mayonnaise, but i HATE mayo, so....

anyway, it still tasted great.
lay out your crepe
put some filling in the middle
roll up the lower portion of the crepe
roll it again upward
pop it in the microwave, or oven until the cheese melts. i swear it super yummy
i also tried making it with nestle all purpose cream
i simply added some chocolate syrup
and whipped away!
put that gorgeous cream in the middle of the crepe
wrapped it up
and served it, CHILLED, with more chocolate syrup
chocoholics will love this!
i also tried making one with peanut butter
after rolling it up, i topped it with some grape jelly
it wasnt as yum-o as i thought it was gonna be, but maybe thats just because i used low fat peanut butter which tastes *blah*
i tried it with orange marmalade and grape jelly
topped it with strawberry syrup...and it was heavenly! super sweet and tangy..
i suggest you make crepes now! don't fear it, its not as tough as you think it isa..oh, and everybody says the first crepe is never perfect, so dont get discouraged if all of yours come out with holes in them...thats why im here, to help you through it...
