Real French Crêpes

This no-butter crêpe recipe is one of the first ones that I learned as a child growing up as a French-Canadian in Montreal. The crêpes can be served either in the traditional style with real maple syrup or cold with ice cream rolled into it and chocolate syrup on top for dessert.

Original recipe (1X) yields 7 servings

2 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
cooking spray

Directions

Mix together milk, flour, and egg in a large bowl until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Grease the skillet with cooking spray.
Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the prepared skillet. Lift and immediately rotate the skillet to spread batter out in a thin layer. Cook until the top of crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crêpe; flip crêpe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Remove crêpe to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Italian Braised Beef and Potatoes

Italian braised beef and potatoes is one of my favorite dishes of all time. If you crave meat and potatoes, this is the ultimate in simple, rustic, and comforting. I'm using beef shank, because it's one of the toughest cuts of beef, and the tough cuts really do braise the best.

Aunt Carol's Apple Pie

Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world!...no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free-flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples.
