crepes from here to kingdom come.

for what im calling my bday/dday im going to have a little picnic partay and im thinking of trying to whip out a massive amount of crepes and some delicious fillings, which might sound complicated but i think its actually simpler than making multiple desserts, can be made ahead of time, lets the guests assemble their own and get all interactive and shit and, and, its french. and im going to france. what?
nevermind. lets not talk about it
anyway ive spent good company hours on the computer becoming an expert in how to twist the wrist to spread batter and how to create a mountain of flour to distribute the eggs without lumps.
i think im ready. the question is whether my kitchen ceiling is ready when i try to flip those mothers.
this should make about 40 crepes, or, if i keep them small, which will take some practice, itll make about 50.

ingredients:
  • 2 2/3 cups whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • nonstick vegetable oil spray
preparation:
  • mix ingredients in blender just until smooth. Cover batter and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • spray 7-inch-diameter nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium heat.
  • pour 2 tablespoons batter into pan and swirl to coat bottom.
  • cook until edge of crepe is light brown, about 1 minute.
  • loosen edges gently with spatula.
  • carefully turn crepe over.
  • cook until bottom begins to brown in spots, about 30 seconds.
  • transfer to plate.
  • cover with paper towel.
  • repeat with remaining batter, spraying pan with oil spray as needed and covering each crepe with paper towel or layer with wax paper
  • can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
possible fillings:
  • roasted bannana
  • strawberry jam
  • raspberry jam
  • peach jam
  • fig jam
  • butter and brown sugar “cassonade”
  • nutella
  • melted hot chocolate
  • honey
  • roasted sliced almonds
  • roasted sliced almonds
  • vanilla whipped cream
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla-flavored whipped cream
  • ricotta
  • mint

Cream cheese with powdered sugar and either vanilla or lemon zest is also very good, especially with peaches either tinned or fresh. I love to make crepes.
