Ingredients for Crepes:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1¾ cups skim milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of molasses
• ½ tsp of vanilla
• ½ tsp of ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp of ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp of allspice
• pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients into a blender and mix until well-blended. You may also combine them by hand. If combining by hand, mix the eggs and milk separately and combine slowly with the dry ingredients. Mix in the melted butter last. Important: Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. This gives the batter the opportunity to rest and fully come together. 

Yield: 24 6-inch crepes (8" pan) or 18 8-inch crepes (10" pan)
