Vanilla Crepes

We eat these are a lazy Saturday night or on a slow Sunday morning.  Ready in 30 minutes.  Serves 12.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp to 1/4 cups sugar (we like them sweeeeet)
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp melted butter

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and melted butter until well blended.
  2. Heat a crepe pan over medium heat until hot. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and tip to spread the batter to the edges. When bubbles form on the top and the edges are dry, flip over and cook until lightly browned on the other side and edges are golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Fill crepes with your favorite foods: fruit, cream, caramel, ice cream, cheese, lemon juice & powdered sugar, apples & cinnamon, cheery pie filling.  The possibilities are endless!
