Recipe Box
Crepes
Love these because you can eat them as a desert or a savory dish!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
•
•
•
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sift flour and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly greased 6 inch skillet. Add about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt skillet so that batter spreads to almost
cover the bottom of skillet. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Repeat process with
remaining batter, grease skillet as needed.
Serving Ideas: Fill with eggs and/or sautéed veggies, meat and favourite fillings, or Nutella™ with fresh fruit.
Top with your favourite sauce or dessert topping.
I like to spread Nutella™ on the inside and layer strawberries with bananas. Roll it up and top with whipped cream
and chocolate sauce and more fresh fruit. Delicious!!
If you have any recipes you would like to share, questions, or tips then please email them to me!
Ask A Baker
Did Ya Know?
Q: My recipe calls for buttermilk and I don’t have any.
Can I use a substitution?
A:
You’re in luck! You don’t need to substitute it
because you can make your own. It’s pretty simple, too. I
don’t like buying a whole container of buttermilk
because, frankly, I don’t use enough recipes that call for
it. I usually use less than a cup of it and the rest goes bad.
What a waste of money. So I like to make my own. All
you do is add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and
in a liquid measuring cup and pour in milk until it reaches
the 1 cup mark. Then use as much as you need. If I have
enough I’ll double a recipe so that I can make sure to use
all or most of it.
• So, I haven’t had the pleasure of trying this one yet.
Thank goodness! I’ve been told if you have a screw
that is stripped on the top then you can place a
rubber band over the top of it and then use your
electric drill to take it out. I guess the rubber band
material will grasp on to the side? If anybody tries
this, can you please let me know how it worked
out!?
• Did you lose something in the carpet? Try securing
a stocking on the attachment hose of your vacuum.
Vacuum over the area that you believe it fell and it
should get sucked up and stick to the stocking. Who
woulda thought!!
• Fill a water bottle half way and then lay it down on
its side in the freezer. When you’re ready for cold
water take it out and fill the other half with water.
Refreshing!
