Another Great Recipe!

With the weather cooling down, nothing's better than a warm cup of coffee and some great breakfast items. Here's a great recipe from Sous Chef, Carly!

Sweet Crêpes

Ingredients
2 3/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil in a squeeze bottle with a very small opening
Assorted fillings.

Directions
In large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, heavy cream, and eggs. Gradually whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 cup milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Strain batter through fine-mesh sieve, discarding any lumps. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

Using pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat 6-inch crêpe pan or cast-iron skillet with oil. Heat pan over moderately high heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Whisk batter briefly to reincorporate any settled solids.

Ladle about 2 tablespoons batter into pan, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. Cook until crêpe is just set and golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Using squeeze bottle, drizzle oil around outside edge of crepe to loosen and carefully flip crêpe over with rubber spatula. Cook until underside is set, about 10-20 seconds more. Transfer cooked crêpe to platter and keep warm.

Repeat to cook remaining crêpes, coating pan with butter each time and stacking crêpes on platter. Fill crêpes with desired fillings and serve immediately.
DO AHEAD: Crêpes can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate, covered. To rewarm, transfer stack to baking sheet, cover with foil, and heat in 300°F oven about 15 minutes.
