Ingredients

1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour*
1 t Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cups Milk
2 t Butter or stick margarine, melted**
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Large eggs
Butter, stick margarine or shortening
Applesauce, sweetened strawberries, currant jelly or raspberry jam, if desired
Powdered sugar, if desired

Preparation

1. MIX flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. STIR in remaining ingredients. BEAT with hand beater until smooth.

2. Lightly BUTTER 6- to 8-inch skillet. HEAT over medium heat until bubbly.

3. For each crepe, POUR scant 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Immediately ROTATE skillet until thin layer of batter covers bottom. COOK until light brown. RUN wide spatula around edge to loosen; TURN and COOK other side until light brown. REPEAT with remaining batter, BUTTERING skillet as needed.

4. STACK crepes, PLACING waxed paper between each; KEEP covered. If desired, SPREAD applesauce, sweetened strawberries, currant jelly or raspberry jelly thinly over each warm crepe; ROLL up. (Be sure to fill crepes so when rolled, the more attractive side is on the outside.) SPRINKLE with powdered sugar if desired. Unfilled crepes can be WRAPPED airtight and FROZEN up to 2 months.

Cook's Notes

Be creative in what you fill them with. My hubby likes chocolate chips and chocolate sauce. :) We eat what we want, then I freeze the rest for later.

This is a great recipe don't get me wrong however there are two typos that could really mess you up. The first one being that in the list of ingredients the recipe calls for baking powder and then in the actual step by step part of the recipe it says to use baking soda. (stick with the baking powder)Also the recipe uses the small letter t for the abbreviation of Tablespoon and it should be the big capital T. Like I said before the recipe is great I use it all of the time. Just make the appropriate adjustments!
