Really thin, rich pancakes better known as crepes…
4 eggs (room temperature is best)
1 C. flour
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. water
1/2 t. salt
2 T. melted butter
2 t. sugar
1 t. vanilla
Measure all ingredients except flour into mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed and gradually add the flour. Beat until smooth. If there are any small lumps, pour batter through a strainer into a 9 inch pie pan.
I am not a french chef, so I cheat and use a crepe maker to actually make them up. It takes all the hard work out of crepes, so follow the directions for your crepe maker amd have fun. This much batter will make about 12-14 crepes.
For a Chocolate Crepe add 2 T. chocolate sauce to this recipe.
I made these crepes for my ward mid-week activity since we were doing Valentine things. I love crepes and have made them for large groups as they can be made ahead of time, served them off the tailgate for breakfast on lake trips and for small elegant dinner parties. Of course the crepe maker I use makes all that feasible since the process is so simple. I have given crepe makers to several of my children and so am fairly sure they can be found for around 30.00 at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond and Shar's Kitchen to name a couple. Have fun with them.

The filling is 2 parts creme cheese to 1 part cottege cheese. Sweeten with powdered sugar to taste and put in a little vanilla too. I mixed mine in a food processor so it would be really smooth and I colored it pink.
The toppings are fresh cut strawberries on one crepe, roasted raspberry chipotle from costco on the other crepe and whipped cream in the middle of them finished off with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. We enjoyed them and some of us enjoyed seconds because we have no will power. Oh well, we can walk another mile to compensate, right? You can top them with anything that sounds good. Fruit is always good - ice cream even.
You can make many variations of crepes including Entree crepes for chicken dishes, etc., Cornmeal crepes for mexican dishes, and even Whole Wheat crepes for a healthier dish.
Enjoy them on Valentine's Day as a special dessert or make them for breakfast. Kids love them.
