Crepes!

Wanna know the way to this girl's heart (aka stomach)? Crepes! They are so delicious. Beyond delicious in fact. Anyways, my mother asked that I make her some the other day. So I had to.  Now I know there are a lot of recipes out there for crepes but this one is the BEST.

 Pretty simple... Just flour, 4 eggs, butter, salt, milk and Perrier Water (any kind of mineral water will work though)

 So introduce the flour and the salt to each other.  They love each other. 

 Add the eggs! Now these eggs were incredibly strong. They did not want to crack. But I mustered up my strength and bam. Professional egg-cracker over here.

 Whisk it all up.

 At this point it will be quite thick but no worries because now you add...

 Mineral water! Bubbly!

 Whisk in the water and it'll get instantly watery... that makes sense though.

 Then add some milk. 

 Now the mix is even more liquidy. Which is perfect, as these crepes need to be nice and thin!

 Next you'll need to add some melted butter, you want to make sure it isn't too hot otherwise the butter will solidify instantly in the mix. Not good. 

 Then strain the mix and place in the fridge to cool for about an hour.
Meanwhile you can get the filling ready.  Now I absolutely love apples in crepes. It is more than perfect. Heavenly. 

 Nothing to crazy, just some brown sugar, apples, and butter.  Now I chose to use 2 fuji and 2 granny smiths.  You want to make sure to use apples that don't turn to utter mush when cooked. Otherwise you might as well heat up some apple sauce and put it in the crepe.

 So one thing I've never truly learned how to do was peel an apple. Now don't worry I use two hands, I was just trying to take a picture.  But regardless. I hate peeling apples.

 Then you'll want to heat up some butter and brown sugar... measurements really don't matter, it's more of a whatever tastes good kind of thing. 

 Once you slice your apples up throw them in the pot! You can also throw in some vanilla extract. Ooh it'll smell so good.

 They'll reduce down some.  Don't be afraid to add some more brown sugar or butter. Add a lot. Add the whole bag! But you can just let that sit on low while you cook up your crepes.

 After you put some butter in the pan pour out the mix and make sure to spread it out really thin.

 Wait to flip it until it is ready otherwise this will happen to you. I almost cried.  One should never waste crepe mix. NEVER.

 See I can flip a crepe.

 The key is to watch the little edge.  Make sure you spread out the batter a little onto the rim and once it turns brown and starts to come away from the pan. Then you'll know it needs to be flipped.

 Once you've finished cooking all the crepes add the apples and roll it up. Top with powdered sugar and serve!

Then if you have a mother like me, she'll find your plating boring and will grab a rose and take her own picture. Lovely. 
Make these crepes asap.

Crepe Mix

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs 
• 1 cup Perrier water
• 1 1/4 cup whole milk
• 3 tbsp butter, melted

1. Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
2. Add the eggs and whisk well.
3. Add the mineral water and the milk and whisk well.
4. Next pour in the butter, make sure the butter is not super hot, while the mix is super cold, that will make the butter clump up! You don't want that to happen.
5. Strain the mix and place in the refrigerator for an hour.
6. Heat medium pan to medium heat and pour a little less than 1/3 cup of batter making sure to spread the batter very thin.
7. Once the edge begins to turn brown, flip over and cook the other side. (About 2 minutes per side give or take)
8. Serve with apple-brown sugar mix! With a little powdered sugar over the top.

Apple-Brown Sugar Crepe Mix

• 2 Fuji and 2 Granny Smith apples, sliced 
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

The measurements for the brown sugar, butter and vanilla are all to taste, you can increase or decrease depending on your own preference. At the end you may want to throw a little more in once it all reduces.

1. Peel and slice the apples.
2. Heat the brown sugar and butter in a medium sauce pan.
3. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
4. Next, add the apple and let this sit over low heat while you cook the crepes allowing the apple mix to reduce.
