How You Make the Crepes & Filling

Whole Wheat Crepes

1. Blend the milk and eggs until well mixed, but stopping short of creating foam.
2. Add flour, sugar (if desired) and mix together. The batter should be quite thin. Add more milk as necessary.
3. Heat a lightly-greased medium skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water dropped in the pan dances on the surface.
4. For each crepe, use 3 tablespoons of batter. Immediately swirl the pan gently to distribute the batter in a very thin layer.
5. Cook the crepe until the surface appears dry – about one minute. Stack completed crepes on a plate with wax paper between each crepe to prevent sticking. To keep for later use, wrap with waxed paper and freeze.

Maple Yogurt and Fruit Filling

1. Combine yogurt and maple syrup and blend evenly.
2. When crepes are ready, pour into centre of crepe and then sprinkle fruit on top. Fold crepe and enjoy!
