Alternative Crepes

MAKES EIGHT 8-INCH CREPES

Ingredients:
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• Bananas, strawberries, and mango, sliced
• Blueberries, raspberries

Preparation:
Combine all the ingredients, except fruit, together in a large bowl and beat the batter until it is nearly smooth. Heat a greased, 8-inch crepe skillet to 400° or begin warming a large, greased frying pan over high heat with a tablespoon of butter or margarine. Spread the batter out in the pan to a ⅛-inch thickness, so that the finished crepe will be thin. Flip the crepe when the batter on top is completely bubbled and the edges are slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Cook the bottom until golden brown, about 1 minute. Place the crepe on a warmed plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Wrap your choice of fresh fruit inside the crepes (sliced bananas, strawberries, mangos, blueberries, raspberries). Serve with maple syrup.
