The Li’l Bird

*(pronounced /kreɪp/, French IPA: [kʀɛp]) is a type of very thin, cooked pancake usually made from wheat flour. The word, like the pancake itself, is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning “curled.” While crêpes originate from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France, their consumption is nowadays widespread in France and is considered the national dish.*

*aka* WAY NUMMY!

At our house, it is at least a once a week breakfast or lunch item. For breakfast we eat it with powdered sugar and homemade maple/vanilla syrup. For lunch, we melt provolone or swiss, ham, mushrooms, and whatever else we have!

We also add puree to them to help make them a tad bit healthier! (Since we use white flour usually instead of wheat, as mentioned above!) If you’re careful not to add too much, you can’t even taste it!

Recipe

1 1/2 c. Flour

1 Tbs. Sugar

1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

2 c. Milk

2 Tbs. stick butter melted

1/2 tsp. Vanilla

2 eggs

1 C. Puree of choice! (today we used squash. we’ve also tried spinach, which is fun on St. Patti’s day, carrots, and cauliflower (which was probably the most noticeable, and not very good!))

Mix all ingredients together, and pour onto greased frying pan in a thin layer. Cook it like a pancake. But they are so thin, they don’t take long, so don’t burn it!

Home made syrup…

2 c. Sugar

1 c. Water

Stir until it boils, add 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and half tsp. maple!

VOILA! Yummy Yummy!
