Buckwheat Crepes

Yeild: About 6 crepes

(Taken for the Taste of Home website: Buckwheat Brunch Crepes)

Ingredients:

-2 Eggs

-1/2 cup Milk

-1/3 cup all-purpose Flour

-3 Tbsp Buckwheat/Whole Wheat Flour

-1/2 tsp Salt

-Your choice of Fresh/Frozen Fruit (cleaned and prepared to serve)

-Powdered Sugar

-Butter

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add flour and salt and beat until smooth. Let this stand for 30 minutes. Melt about one teaspoon of butter in an 8 inch skillet and pour about two tablespoons of batter into the skillet; lift and tilt skillet to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until top looks dry. Turn over and cook bottom until lightly browned. Remove and serve with fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes:

-The website offers recipes for a whipped topping and berry sauce, but for a healthier option go for what I suggest above.

-You can also use a nice pudding as part of the filling. At my university, they used to serve vanilla pudding, banana, and strawberries in the crepes with a little drizzle of chocolate sauce.

-I enjoy going out to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. Not only do I get the freshest ingredients available, but I also am able to get some needed exercise. Check to see if there are any local farmers in your area that allow you to harvest your own ingredients. Usually the prices are more affordable than at your local grocery and most of these farms are organic.
