Valentine’s Breakfast Crepes

Crêpes are perfect Valentine’s breakfast because they are easy to make and versatile enough to suit all kinds of pallets. Crêpes are the new pancakes..didn’t you know?

Basic Crêpes

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Mix the eggs and flour and whisk while gradually adding water, milk and salt and finally the butter. Try to avoid too many lumps. Lightly coat a frying pan with cooking spray or butter and heat up to medium heat. Pour about ¼ to ½ of a cup of batter into the middle of the frying pan and swirl it around until it makes a thin circle. Cook for about two minutes until the bottom of the crêpe looks like this:

Then flip and cook until that side looks the same.

If your crêpes are going to be of the sweet persuasion, then it is always tasty to add ¼ teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract to the batter for a little flavor.

Now that the actual crêpes are made, it’s time for the best part..the fillings.

I used Nutella, a mixture of fresh and frozen strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Anythings goes though. You can use any type of berries or fruits, butter with cinnamon and sugar, flavored cream cheese, chocolate chips, even ice cream.. I could go on and on and on.

The crêpes can also be made savory instead of sweet. Cheese, eggs, meats, herbs and spices are just a few examples.

Check out the menu of one of my favorite crêpe houses, Le Happy in Portland for some ideas for gourmet toppings for your crêpes.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
