Sour Milk = Crepes

Did your milk just go sour? Don't throw it away! (Unless it's so old it's curdled! yuck! Then definitely throw it out!)It's great for making crepes- French pancakes. It's a great way to use up that old milk and the crepes come out tasting great! I always use my Mom's favorite recipe when I make crepes. I think it's from an old edition of Betty Crocker.

French Crepes

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

2 cups Milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla


Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and whisk together.
Heat a round frying pan or round griddle to a low-medium heat. Butter pan generously (butter will gently bubble if your temperature is right).
Drop 1/3 cup (for small pans use 1/4 cup or 3 tbsp) of crepe mix into  your heated pan and swirl pan to spread the mix evenly.
Allow crepe to set then flip.
Remove from pan and fill with your favorite jam or spread, roll and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes: Crepes cook quickly -no more than a minute or so for each side. Remember to butter your pan again between crepes.

Makes around 12 crepes.
