Dessert Crepes

These are called Jana's crepes, she was my neighbor and best friend and she took the best care of me!  She still does!  We like to serve these for after dinner dessert or breakfast!  Because of the sugar content they are very sweet and very yummy! Divine!

Jana's crepes:

(the secret ingredient was that she substituted the water with sugar, no wonder these are to die for!)

3 eggs

½ cup milk

½ cup sugar (original recipe called for ½ cup water here, but Jana did sugar instead)

3 TBLSP butter, melted

¾ cup flour

½ tsp. salt

Combine all ingredients in blender container; blend about 1 minute. Scrape down sides with spatula and blend about 30 seconds more.  Refrigerate for one hour.  To cook, heat omelet, crepe, or regular frying pan on medium-high heat just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.  Brush lightly with melted butter.  For each crepe, pour in just enough butter to cover bottom of pan, tipping and tilting pan to move batter quickly over bottom.  If crepe has holes, add a drop

or two of batter to patch.  Cook til light brown on bottom and dry on top.  Remove from pan and stack on plate.  Makes 12 crepes (mine only made 9 crepes)

I am not always patient and do not wait for the hour in the fridge, and I cook them right away (maybe stick in freezer for a few minutes) and they still turn out fine! 
And I turn my crepes over and cook both sides.

One of our favorite fruit fillings for the crepes is a strawberry filling

that I got from my daughter in law Krista marshall harrah! thanks for sharing this fun cream filling: (she uses it for a fruit dip)

1 small tub strawberry cream cheese

1 small container cool whip

1 jar marshmallow cream

Mix cream cheese with marshmallow cream with electric mixer.  Fold in cool whip  Serve with favorite fruit.

Here is another version to the crepes my landlord upstairs had in her family recipe book I am going  to try this week, yummy!

And now for the nourishing of our souls:

Here is a saying I saw on Facebook:

Don't regret knowing the people who came into your life.  Good people give you happiness.  Bad ones give you experience.  The worst ones give you lessons and the best people give you memories.

Yay for good memories!

Have a wonderful day, my day today is filled with thunder, dark sky, wind blowing through my window and yet beauty that makes me smile!  happy day
