In honor of National Pancake Day yesterday, I decided to forgo the free pancakes at IHOP and instead make pancakes for my family at home.   More specifically, I decided to make crepes.   The fact that I have never made crepes before didn’t stop me one bit; I knew that I could find a recipe online and that I probably already had the ingredients at home.   I used a basic recipe from WikiHow, but I added more milk, maybe as much as a cup more.   The batter has to be thin.   If it’s too thick, like pancake batter, add some more milk.   A YouTube video by Foodwishes.com was also very helpful in helping me learn how to work the crepe batter in the pan.   It was a little tricky at first, pouring just the right amount of batter and knowing when to flip the crepe, but by the third crepe I had it down (and I ate the first two “bad crepes”).

Now that I know that crepes are so easy, I’ll be making them all the time!

*Update April 24, 2010: I made crepes today and used organic stone ground whole wheat flour.  They were really good and more filling than they were before, and of course, healthier.
