Berry Brandy Breakfast Crepes
(2 servings)
- 4 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/2 cup water
-
2 Tablespoons butter
-
2 Tablespoons brandy
-
1 cup flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon vanilla
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
melted butter
-
powdered sugar
-
2 pints fresh strawberries
-
whipped cream
Place the eggs, milk, water, 2 tablespoons butter, brandy, flour, salt, vanilla, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth. Let the batter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a 7 inch skillet; brush with melted butter. Pour in 2 tablespoons batter for each crepe, turning and tilting the skillet to spread thin. Brown on one side.
Set all the crepes out on a warm platter and sprinkle each crepe with powdered sugar.
Place strawberries in the center of each crepe and fold envelope style. Spoon a few strawberries on top and garnish with a dab of whipped cream.
Makes a great breakfast or a wonderful dessert.
The alcohol in the brandy burns off leaving a terrific, almost caramel-like flavor. Mix that with a hint of vanilla and loads of fresh strawberries and you end up with a delicious brunch.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank The Boss for this recipe.
