Sweet, Sweet Crepe.


Sweet Crepe stuffed with bananas and strawberries..Delicious!! Here we go.

Ingredients for Crepe:

1 cup of flour.
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water.
2 eggs.
2 teaspoon of sugar.
2 tbsp of melted butter.
1/2 teaspoon of grounded cinnamon.
1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Oil

(serves 7-8 crepes)

Filling:
-Whipped Cream.
-Finely sliced strawberries.
-Finely sliced bananas.
-Chocolate sauce.

How to make the crepe:

1- In a big bowl, add the flour and the two eggs, then mix.
2-Mix the water and milk and start gradually pour them to the bowl of flour and eggs, while mixing well.
3-Then add the melted butter, salt, sugar, and cinnamon, then beat all well till the mixture is smooth. (The mixture is liquid-like, but has a bit of thickness.)
4-In a frying pan, add a drop of oil; heat it up.
5- Using a ladle, take a full scoop of the mixture (round 1/4 of a measuring cup) and pour it into the frying pan, and move the pan in circular motion to evenly spread the batter.
6-Fry till a bit goldish-brownish, and then turn to the other side using a spatula.


7-Leave till it cool down, then start stuffing it with the fruits and pipe whipped cream and roll it over, then add chocolate sauce on top, and sprinkle some powder sugar.


OR
Make a crepe sandwich: in one half fully spread the whipped cream and the fruits, and fold the other half on top. And garnish it with chocolate and sugar as desired.



This is how they should look like:


Extra Tip:
* Do a trick, and add some cocoa to the crepe batter, and fry it. Et Voila, a chocolate crepe, stuffed with strawberries and some whipped cream
Et Bon Appetit.



Side Notes:

-The cinnamon just adds a very nice taste to the crepe (and smell too), however if you're not a fan of cinnamon, you can add a small pinch or just dispense with that step.

-Crepe should be thin, but not dry.
