So I know I’ve confessed to not knowing what to make for breakfast.<\/p>\n

And I’m still working on it.<\/p>\n

But the other day I made crepes for Jordan for breakfast, and I even surprise myself by enjoying it.<\/p>\n

Crepes with strawberries and freshly whipped cream. The recipe is a Julia Child’s recipe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After you put the ingredients together and blend them, you getting pan and heat it really hot, almost to smoking.<\/p>\n

You brush the pan with oil…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…(a silicone brush is best otherwise the bristles on the others will melt, also keeping a small puddle of oil on a plate is the best way I’ve done it so far)…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…then put the batter in the pan…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…roll the pan to coat it with batter…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

….and pour out the excess.<\/p>\n

You cook the first side for approximately a minute or so…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…and then flip it over to cook for about another 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The second side will only be a little bit spotted Brown.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You take the crepe and set it aside, covering it up or setting it to where it will stay a bit warm. Oil your pan again and repeat the process until you have used up all of your batter.<\/p>\n

The crepes can be used immediately, and they also will refrigerate well, to be warmed up for use later.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, my coffee got finished up before the batter was all used. Sad, lonely, empty cup of coffee…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I sliced some strawberries to go with the crepes<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To make the whipped cream, I just put cold heavy cream into my mixer with a bit of powdered sugar and a little bit of vanilla.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I turned the mixer on high and kept an eye on it until it got to medium Peaks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can go to stiff peaks, but you have to watch it very carefully to make sure it does not get over beaten.<\/p>\n

I then put the whipped cream in the middle of a crepe…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and then roll it up. I did that with 5 Crepes and put them all on a plate, added sliced strawberries, sprinkled powdered sugar on top, added a dollop of whipped cream, and for the Final Touch added a strawberry that had been sliced and fanned out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After seeing the finished product, Lydia wanted something very similar done with a pancake that I had reheated for her.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My attempt at being creative. ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One Step that I did not follow *surprise, surprise* with the directions was that I did not let the batter sit for 2 hours. I used it right away and it still seem to do fine.<\/p>\n

Oh wait, I did not sift the flour before using it which potentially might have made the Crepes a little bit thicker, but that was fine because Jordan enjoyed it that the Crepes were a little bit thicker.<\/p>\n

So two steps that I didn’t follow. That won’t surprise my mom. ?<\/p>\n

Or Jordan, for that matter.<\/p>\n

Apparently I have a reputation for not following directions. ?<\/p>\n

I have used this recipe before and it is definitely a recipe that I will be using a bit more frequently. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. If you have never tried making crepes, set aside a morning and make a batch of them. You might be just as pleasantly surprised as I was as to how easy they were.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
