CREPES

2 eggs  
1 1/4 cups milk  
4 tablespoons melted butter (divided) 
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (we love the almond flavor!) 
1 tablespoon sugar (1 teaspoonfor savory crepes) 
1 cup flour 
1/4 teaspoon salt 

Beat all ingredients together (only use 2 tablespoons of butter) with an electric mixer or with a whisk until well combined. I like using a blender.
Use a 12" skillet and place over medium heat for 3 minutes. Use a basting brush to butter the bottom of the pan before making each crepe. 
Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter in the center of the pan and then lift the pan and gently swirl it around allowing the batter to thin out and spread out a bit. 
Cook for 30 to 40 seconds on each side and remove to a plate to make the next one. 
I stack the crepes one on top of the other on a single plate and do not have an issue carefully pulling them apart when it's time to assemble. 

*Crepes can be savory or sweet, there is an unlimited amount of fillings and sauces you can use for them.  This recipe made about 7 crepes. 

Filling ideas: 
* Jam & cream cheese mixed with vanilla extract 
* Mini chocolate chips and bananas 
* Sliced peaches and honey 
* Nutella and ice cream
