Breakfast Crepes

**My Great-Grandmother used to make her crepes for breakfast, lunch or dinner...whenever I wanted them.  Her simple recipe of flour, eggs and shortening still lives and manages to stir lots of memories.  Here is my version of one of my all-time favorite dishes.



INGREDIENTS


2 Cups      Flour
6 Each      Eggs
1 Cup       Milk
1 Cup       Water
1/4 tsp      Salt
1/2 tsp      Vanilla Extract
1 Tbls     Sugar
6 Tbls     Butter

DIRECTIONS

1.  In a medium bowl, mix together the Flour and Eggs until fully incorporated.
2.  Slowly add in the Milk and Water. Whisk until nice and smooth.
3.  Stir in the Salt, Vanilla and Sugar.
4.  Melt 4 Tbls of Butter and then whisk it into the batter
5.  Add 1/2 Tbls of Butter to a pre-heated saute pan and tip pan to cover the entire surface.
6.  Take 1/4 Cup of batter and pour it into the middle of the pan.
7.  Tip the pan to cover the whole surface with the batter.
8.  Cook on medium to medium-high for approximately 30 seconds.
9.  Flip the Crepe over and cook side for additional 30 seconds or until it starts to lightly brown.
10. Remove from pan and continue to cook until all the batter is gone, adding 1/2 Tbls of butter to the pan after every couple Crepes.
11. Fill crepes with your favorite jam, top with your favorite fruit, sprinkle with Confectionary Sugar or just smother with Maple Syrup.
12. Savourer!
