Sid’s Crepes

My husband loves to make (and eat!) these crepes.  He can eat lots of them but I have to limit myself to a few as they are more filling than they seem!  The batter can be mixed the night before so all you have to do in the morning is pour it.  They are very nice, and low carb too, however high fat content because of the cream.  Some experts these days say that’s good.  We heard a local Nanaimo chiropracter, Dr. Stefani, give a talk recently on Health Over 55, and he recommended eating lots of fat and doing lots of excercise.  They seemed to give Sid the energy he needed for shoveling the driveway today anyway!

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup 18% cream
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• jam or other filling

Method:

Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium-low.

Whisk the eggs and then gradually add in the cream and flour alternately while continuing to whisk.  Whisk in the melted butter and vanilla.

Pour one crepe at a time onto the frying pan and flip it when the bottom is done.

Spread with your favourite jam or other filling.  Cinnamon & sugar is also nice, or fresh strawberries, or whatever you might like to try.

Mmm, so nice for a special treat!  They go down easy, but make you feel full for hours! Pictured is my share; Sid eats twice as many!
