HI~~~!!!! Imma teach you guys how to make crepes today~
See, Heather suddenly told me on Friday that she suddenly want to eat the crepes I make. She asked me to make some crepes for her when I'm super duper ultra free so free that I got nothing better to do. Well, I got all the ingredients left from the last time I made Heather's birthday picnic crepes and I do nothing but play computer all day long on weekends anyway. So I thought might as well just do it on Sunday. And I LOOOOVE cooking for people who wanna eat my stuffs so I just went right ahead and made them. Actually, I finished them just now and is blogging about it right after I'm done. So here goes :
HOW TO MAKE CREPES
These are what you need :
-all purpose flour
-milk
-unsalted butter
-salt
-eggs
-sugar
I don't have measuring spoons or measuring cups. So I just use my mug and a random spoon that's close enough to a teaspoon or tablespoon. In my opinion, it doesn't matter! Just use you instincts!
Take a large bowl, and add one cup of all purpose flour
One cup of milk
Two tablespoons sugar
They use white sugar, but my mom just won't buy white sugar 'cause she said brown sugar's healthier. But to be honest, I think the types of sugar doesn't change the crepe's taste. It's all the same. So just use what you got at home like me!
Two eggs
Melt your butter
Take two tablespoons of butter and put it in a small bowl. Then pour abit of hot water into a slightly larger bowl and put the small bowl in it. Don't let hot water get into the small bowl.
After it's melted, pur it into the batter bowl
Then lastly, add 1/2 teaspoon salt
Stir until they're smooth
Like this
You can just use a normal spoon or fork to stir. And don't stir too much like me, or else there'll be too much oxygen inside.
Use small fire
Use a paper towel (it's something like a hard tissue) and rub on butter. Then brush them on the pan.
Use a large spoon or a laddle, scoop the batter and then pour it on the buttered pan
Tilt the pan so your crepe batter will cover the pan and won't be so thick in the middle.
Wait for a while, for about 30 seconds or until the batter is not so liquid anymore then flip the crepe. For crepes, you don't have to wait too long or they'll burn
After it's cooked, put them on a plate and you've got one crepe done!
Remember to brush butter onto your pan everytime before pouring batter on. If you don't brush butter on, it'll be easier to burn.
My crepes used to be a beautiful circle but ever since my mom bought a new bigger pan and gave the old small pan away, my crepes are never the same again. But whatever, they're still edible :D
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE SYRUP
The easy way? Just buy a bottle of chocolate syrup from a store. But because I don't wanna spend money on stuffs, and I still got alot of old chocolates at home, I just decided to make them myself!
Get a bar of chocolate or just some chocolates you already got at home
Break them into pieces and put them into a small bowl.
And yes, pour abit of hot water into a slightly larger bowl and put the small bowl in it. Don't let the water into the bowl or the chocolate will be ruined.
Wait for them to melt
Microwave your milk
This is important, your chocolate would harden if you use cold milk. Then, use a teaspoon to scoop alittle bit of milk into your melted chocolate. POUR ONLY A TEASPOON AT A TIME! Don't just go pouring the whole cup of milk or your chocolate syrup would become tasteless chocolate milk. Pour one teaspoon into the chocolate ans stir to see if it's enough. Do this until you think it's syruppy enough.
The reason why you have to add milk is because if you don't, your chocolate would harden after sometime and it won't be chocolate syrup.
Spread the syrup onto your crepes
I also spread strawberry jam. You can add bananas or other fruits if you'd like. I got no fruits at the moment so I didn't.
And you're done!
I pack them up to bring to school tomorrow
