in season: summer berries

June 24th, 2010 - by

Summer is finally here and berries are plentiful!

I could eat berries by the handful, and do so practically everyday.  I love to eat them on top of my morning oatmeal, on angel food cake, or my all time favorite is on crêpes!

Berries, crêpes, maybe a little ice cream or fresh whipped cream and hot fudge on top.  Sounds like a perfect way to end a nice summer evening.  Or, begin it, right?

Take advantage of the amazing prices of berries at your local farmers market, or grocery store and eat a handful with all your favorites.

Read more for a delicious crêpe recipe!

{my favorite crêpes}

makes about 10-15 small crêpes

3/4 c water
3/4 c milk
1 c plus 2 tbs flour
2 tbs melted butter
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla
2-3 tbs sugar

place all ingredients in a blender and blend until fully combined.

place in a large bowl, cover and place in refrigerator overnight, or at least 2-4 hours minimum in order for flour to completely blend.

when ready to cook.   place crepe skillet on medium heat. add 1/4 c batter in crepe pan.  coat pan and cook until the edges are brown.  flip and cook another minute. if crepe is sticking, coat the pan lightly with butter.  the first few crepes hardly ever turn out great, so chin up and keep at it!

place favorite toppings, roll up and enjoy!
