crepes -- great for dinner or breakfast

Crepes: 

 3 large eggs 

 1 1/2 cups whole milk* 

 1/2 cup water 

 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 

 2 tbsp. o.j. 

 3 tbsp. sugar 

 1/2 tsp salt 

 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing the pan. 

 *Note:  The book says that the tasters preferred the taste of whole milk but that you can use low-fat or fat-free milk instead. 

 For the crepes:  Combine the eggs, milk, water, flour, o.j., sugar, salt, and melted butter in a blender until a smooth batter forms, about 10 seconds.  Transfer the batter to a medium bowl.  Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom and sides of a 10-inch nonstick skillet very lightly with melted butter and heat the skillet over medium heat.  When the butter stops sizzling, tilt the pan slightly to the right and begin pouring in a scant 1/4 cup batter.   

 I am sure you know how to finish cooking the crepes.  So, if you don't then i can finish with the directions if you want.  But, I am not sure if you want more breakfast recipes or just recipes for the crepes.  But here are some suggestions for the crepes.  You can make and orange sauce to go with these crepes instead of having syrup.  You can fill the crepes with an orange cream and then roll the crepes up so they are stuffed crepes.  You can grill some fruit and place them inside the crepes or if you bought some hawaiian fruit (like kiwis, mangoes, pineapple etc) and made a mixture of that, I can give you a sauce that would be good with the fruit.  Crepes are delicate and so the toppings should be delicate also.

Apple - Cinnamon Funnel Cakes

Salad Oil

1 1/4 cup flour

3/4 cu apple juice or cider

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 salt

1 egg

Ground Cinnamon

2 Tbs. Confectioners' Sugar (Powdered)

Heat your oil to about 325 degrees

Mix dry ingredients, and add wet ingredients. Stirring until smooth.

I tried this with a funnel, but the mouth of my funnel was to small, so I just poured it in with a measuring cup that had a good pour spout.

Pour about 1/4 cup into the funnel.  Over the hot oil, carefully pour the batter out in a stream, while making a spiral about 6 inches in diameter (I make them smaller - that way all the kids didn't have to wait until the large ones were cooked)

Fry until golden brown (this happens quite quickly)  Drain well on paper towel.  Repeat with remaining batter, stirring well before pouring the next cake.

In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.  Sprinkle cakes with the cinnamon - sugar mixture.  

Serve Warm.
