Crinkle



Today i made crepes for breakfast

I woke up specially at 6.30 ish to make the batter so it could stand (and the gluten could relax) before i fried it

It's so easy actually because all you have to do it measure ingredients and stuff it in a blender and puree it. It's the frying that's difficult

Anyway, i was slightly disappointed with the first one because i tried my hardest to make the best crepe on the planet by following one of the rules of making the best crepes (found on google-the same place that taught me that putting bleach in vase water stops it from smelling, which is true, but it also makes all your flowers fall off their stems) which calls for one to use a NOT non stick pan, and to flip with your fingers.

Unfortunately, they didn't tell you how painful it is to flip a hot hot hot crepe with your fingers centimeters away from burning metal. The ends of my fingers are pink and sore now

After that i switched to a non stick pan which was thankfully much easier and cooler, and i successfully made about 6 crepes, which Tim, Mum, Dad and I ate for breakfast (i had banana and nutella with mine)

This afternoon, i made 3 for hannah, 2 for tim, 1 for dad and 1 more for myself, and now all the batter is gone

But i'll definitely be making them again.
