Yearning for savory crêpes.

There were times when I feel too lazy to cook, just whipping up something so simple, throw it into the wok or oven to cook while I laid-back to read my book.
Often enough, still wanting to make some mess.

Times when laziness takes over me, savory oatmeal comes in the picture. Once you've tasted rolled oats, you would eventually fall in love with it and not want to take instant oats ever again. It's a very different chewy texture and the fragrance which I love. I like to tug in bed with comfort in a bowl, on my lap top or watching my favourite movie!

I've been dreaming of crepes, and for a change - not the sweet ones.

Savory crepes. Really needed that.
Plus, mushrooms were rotting sitting in the fridge cause I've been saying that I want to make mushroom soup for weeks and that never happened.
Nope. Didn't pick myself up to do it. How disappointing. Mum's on a diet and didn't want to ruin it.

By the way, can mushrooms rot? They are fungus to begin with. All they could get is pretty wrinkly and dirtier looking.

Savory Crêpes
(adapted from smitten kitchen)
makes 6-8 large crepes

2 large egg
180ml milk
120ml water
40g butter, melted

120g plain flour
1/2 tsp of salt

some butter/oil to coat the pan

Method:

Put the wet ingredients : egg, milk water and butter together and whisk.
Add in plain flour and salt. Mix with a fork until no lumps can be seen.
Leave the crepe batter to rest in the fridge for an hour or up to 48 hours.

Heat up a non-stick pan. Coat with butter or oil.
With a ladle, spoon crepe batter into the center of the pan. Quickly lift up the pan from heat
and swirl to let batter spread evenly. Cook at low/medium heat for about 30 seconds and flip.

The first one is meant to go to the bin (and sometimes the second one too).

Repeat steps until batter finishes.
