Crepes {with Sweet Yogurt and Blueberries}

Okay, so if you haven't gotten the not-so-subtle hint, I love breakfast. This past Sunday, I decided to take on, what i thought was a brave endeavor to make crepes, without a crepe pan. I found a recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, and decided to try it, seeing that the batter was fairly simple to make. The only thing I was nervous about was how to cook them, in a regular non-stick skillet. Well, upon making my first crepe, this fear completely disappeared. Seriously, crepes are SO fantastically easy to make, and you can fill them with just about anything. And I liked the idea of filling it with a Greek yogurt mixture :-) They turned out SO yummy, and I definitely will be making them more often! Just keep in mind, the batter has to sit for 20 minutes before you start to cook the crepes.  This allows the flour particles to expand and absorb more water. :-) But the filling seriously rocks. Its like a perfectly sweet and tangy light cloud of heavenly goodness. 

INGREDIENTS:

~ 3 large eggs

~1 1/4 C milk

~ pinch of salt

~ 3 T unsalted butter; melted

~ 1 C flour

~ 1 1/2 C plain greek yogurt

~ 3 T brown sugar

~ 1/2 t pure vanilla

~ Maple Syrup (for drizzling)

~ Blueberries

DIRECTIONS:

1. In medium bowl, mix eggs and 1/4 C milk and salt until blended. Whisk in the flour until well blended. Then  whisk in remaining cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Let batter stand @ room temp for 20 minutes

2. In another bowl, mix the yogurt with the brown sugar and vanilla. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

3. Heat non-stickk skillet over moderate heat. Brush the pan with some of the melted butter. Pour in a scant 1/3 C of the crepe batter and immediately rotate the pan to evenly coat the bottom. (I ended up using quite a bit less than 1/3 cup for each crepe, it makes them thinner)

4. Cook the crepe until lightly browned (45 seconds). Flip and cook until brown spots appear on the other side, about 15 seconds.

5. Transfer the crepe to a large baking pan covered with parchment paper.

6. Spoon 3 T of yogurt onto each crepe and toll them up. Top with maple syrup and berries. Sift powdered sugar over prepared crepes.

bon appetit!
