General Conference Crepes

We try to make General Conference a special affair. One of the things my kids look forward to is the special breakfasts we have on General Conference mornings. These were a big hit this year. The crepes can be made up to a month in advance and frozen until you are ready to thaw and use.

Chocolate Crepes:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, use a wire whisk to beat eggs, milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Let mixture stand 5 minutes to thicken.

Vanilla Crepes:
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar and salt. In another bowl, use a wire whisk to beat egs, milk, oi, and vanilla until smooth. Let mixture stand 5 minutes to thicken.

To cook crepes:
Heat a nonstick heavy 8-inch skillet over medium heat; spray with cooking spray. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup batter into skillet; tilt pan, covering bottom with batter and creating a 6 inch circle. Cook crepe until top has set and is lighter in color. Carefully turn and cook other side briefly. Transfer crepe to a sheet of waxed aper. set aside until ready to serve or freeze.

Toppings:
Berries with whip cream
Powdered sugar with lemon juice (my kid's favorite)
Any flavor pudding

Banana Cream Filling:(Delicious! Especially with the chocolate crepes)
2 cups heavy cream
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 very ripe bananas, smashed
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Place heavy cream, cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until stiff peaks form. In another medium bowl, mix together bananas and cinnamon. Fold 1 cup whipped cream into banana mixture, then fold banana mixture into remaining whipped cream until well combined.
