Sweet Crepes

Ingredients: 

1 c. unbleached all purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1/3 c. water
3 eggs
2 ½  Tbsp OLEA’s Butter Infused Olive Oil

 Directions: 

Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor or blender and process briefly. With the motor running, add the milk, water, eggs and olive oil through the feed tube. Process until smooth. This can either be used right away or stored overnight and used in the morning. 

Heat a heavy 7-inch non stick skillet until quite hot. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the batter, then quickly tilt the pan so the batter spreads evenly, forming a crepe. Cook until lightly brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Then turn and cook another 15 seconds. Repeat, using all the batter. 

As you finish the crepes, stack them between sheets of waxed paper to prevent them from sticking. Wrap the stacked crepes in plastic wrap. 

They will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
