Introduction

This is Julia Child's basic crepe recipe except with a few switches.
I switched half the flour with whole wheat flour, and I substituted an egg with 2 egg whites. Also because I was using 1% milk, I switched the 2/3 cup of water she called for with milk as I assume her milk she used would have been whole milk.

Ingredients

    1/2 c white flour
    1/2 c whole wheat flour
    2 large eggs
    1/4 c egg white
    3 Tbsp melted becel
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 1/3 c milk 1%

Directions

***This batter needs to sit for at least an hour so make it up the night before a breakfast or a few hours beforehand if you're serving it for dessert. Basically you just whip all ingredients together and refrigerate.

Oil hot non-stick pan with butter or cooking spray and put a light coating of batter in pan. Roll it around until you have a thin layer coating the pan and pour out any excess back into your batter bowl. Quickly cook one side. (Flip when you see air bubbles.) and lightly cook the other side.
**Also note that these may be cooked ahead of time and refrigerated in layers once they've cooled.

I suggest a light spread of cream cheese on the "private side" of the crepe and then add a few chopped strawberries and roll. Top with: a dusting of powdered sugar, a little chocolate sauce, maple syrup, light table syrup, and/or cool whip.

Serving Size: Makes 10 (8") crepes or 20 (5") crepes
