Lunch Du Jour: Julia Child's French Crepe

Sooooo, I am finally back! I have been getting used to my new life transition -5 months pregnant and enjoying my mom-to-be life :) which means I should have more time to try on different recipes!

I was craving for french crepe for lunch this afternoon, so I randomly googled and found a blog that teaches the Julia Child's recipe! I immediately jumped to it and gave it a try. My, those crepes taste fantastic and I have 10 more for leftover! :D I can't wait to make myself a lemon sugar crepe tonight...mmmm

The steps are very easy. The crepe is good for both sweet and savory, and I added a drip of vanilla extract for my own preference (Looks like I add vanilla to everything). The method only requires a non-stick frying pan. 

Ingredients:

1 cup flour (128g)
2/3 cup cold milk (165g)
2/3 cup cold water (165g)
1 tbp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbp melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

1. Mix all dry ingredients together and wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix ingredients and blend well. Refrigerate for 15 minutes
2. Preheat pan in medium heat. Butter pan with butter/oil
3. Use a 1/4 cup to scoop better and pour in the middle. Tilt the pan in a circular motion so the batter spread across evenly. Make sure to tilt the pan fast enough before the batter cooks up. Cook for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Flip over crepe to cook the other side. 
4. Cool crepes on a rack. Serve as desired.

Ingredients:
Canned chicken breast chunks
cherry tomato (chopped)
italian spicing
sea salt
mayo/lemonnaise 
white truffle oil

Steps:

1. Drain out water from can, and make sure the chicken chunks are dry enough 
2. Mix in all ingredients and refrigerate before use
