Crepe Expectations

I had no idea that a crepe was just nothing more than a fancy pancake.

If pancakes were people, crepes would be supermodels: thin, beautiful, and endlessly photographed.
Once I discovered how easily a crepe could substitute for a tortilla, a gyro or an ice cream cone, I swiftly set out to concoct these little devils in my own kitchen. As usual, I reached for Ashley's 100% whole wheat flour.

This is what I was hoping for:

.... this is what I got

....Nailed it!!

A few minor adjustments later...(notice the switch to Teflon)

 

and I had something relatively edible.....


                                                    and finally, presentable....

The recipe I followed was to yield 18 crepes.
Only five survived.
This is served with chocolate Debackers ice cream and Wilson Creek Gardens strawberry jam.
I also came up with a local substitute for my favorite PB&J sandwiches- crepes with jam and Hedmark's maple cream.

While mine can't compare to those air-brushed beauties on Pinterest, I think I will be making a few more of these crepes before the month is out.
