Crepes with yogurt and fruit

Crepes are really easy to make and, in my opinion, very versatile and delicious. They definitely bring a little more excitement to lunchtime :)

Recipe from Better Homes and Gardens - makes 18 or so crepes

2 eggs
1.5 cups milk
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp oil
1/4 tsp salt

Blend in a blender until smooth, then allow to sit for a short while until bubbles dissipate (I just put the blender-container in the fridge until I'm ready with the fruit etc, then bring it out to start making crepes).

Heat a lightly greased 6in skillet, remove from heat and spoon in 2 Tbsp batter (or so, depending on the thickness desired) then tilt the skillet to spread batter. Return to heat; brown one side only. Invert onto paper towels or a cookie rack to remove crepe (since my pan is not really nonstick, even with grease, I need to help a bit with my spatula). Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet occasionally.

When all your crepes are made, serve them with fruit and yogurt. Let the kids spoon in their own yogurt and choose the fruit they want (strawberries, bananas, grapes, raspberries, thinly sliced apples, whatever).

Or you can serve them with nutella and bananas (like BreAnne brought) or peanut butter, or whatever! Yum :-)
