Delicious Crepes

We had crepes for dinner last night. We love this recipe! The husband can't wait to get enough of them and he isn't even a big sweet eater. If you want to try something fun for breakfast or have breakfast for dinner this is a fun change and very easy!!!

CREPES

1 cup flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
*Beat the above ingredients until well mixed. Spray Pam or cooking spray on frying pan and then pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center. Tilt the pan so that batter covers the entire bottom of the frying pan like the picture below. Cook each crepe on low/med heat (my stove is set to about a 3 or 4 when cooking them). When the crepe starts to look dry on top it is ready to flip sides. (In the pic below the crepe is almost ready to flip you can see the right side is still slightly wet). Then prepare the filling.

Filling:
1/2 pkg of cream cheese softened
3/4 carton of cool whip
1/2 c. powdered sugar
*Combine and spread in the center of a crepe and then roll crepe up. Top with berries! Enjoy
