While living in St. Louis, John and I used to frequent the City Coffeehouse & Crêperie on weekends. It was such a treat! We absolutely loved it. We usually usually stuck to our favorites. Mine was a crêpe full of brie, slices of green apple, walnuts, and topped with sliced red grapes. Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Yesterday morning I felt like having a little taste of St. Louis. I decided to tackle my favorite crêpe in my own kitchen. I often forget that my favorite dishes out, can be made by me. Who would have thought? But it's definitely easier said than done. I found a million crêpe recipes online and just picked one that looked easy. (Note: After reading the recipe feedback, I decided to mix all the liquid ingredients first, then added the flour).
Ingredients include:
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
I chopped up some green apples in thin slices, cut the brie, and sliced the red grapes. (I decided not to use walnuts because we didn't have any.) The breakfast was a success and John was a happy crêpe taste-tester. Honestly, it wasn't as great as the crepes in St. Louis, but it is a start. I can't wait to tweak the recipe and also try some new exciting crêpe fillings! We are ready for some house guests. Who wants to visit?
