Whole Wheat Crepes (aka Elephant Ears)

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 TBS. butter, melted

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Slowly add milk and water, and then the rest of the ingredients.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle to medium high heat. Take about 1/4-1/2 cup of batter and pour onto the griddle. Rotate the griddle to evenly distribute the batter. Cook for a couple of minutes, loosen the sides with a spatula and quickly flip to cook the other side.

Fill the crepe with your favorite things. We do sugar free syrup. I have tried fruit and yogurt with cool whip, and even for dinner we tried a chicken cordon bleu crepe that was pretty yummy. I grew up calling these "Elephant Ears" because that's kind of what they look like!

Crepes/ "Elephant Ears"

Ingredients:


  • 1 cup flour

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted

Wisk flour and eggs. Gradually add milk and water, add remaining ingredients. Heat a lightly oiled gridle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats evenly. Cook the crepe about 2 minutes, then flip. Serve hot. (4 servings...we usually double this recipe if there are more than 2 or 3 people.)


Ideas to serve inside crepes:



  • we usually do syrup and butter

  • fresh fruit and cool whip

  • eggs and cheese

  • for dinner try chicken, ham, swiss, etc. It's yummy!

At our house, we call these Elephant Ears because that's what they look like. Whenever I make these, Hayden always says, "These are DARN good, Mom!" Your family will love them. I think they are better than pancakes or waffles.
