Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup Smorzasoel spread
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Special equipment needed:
- Non-stick skillet
- Crepe pan or griddle
- Blender or whisk
- Spatula
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and melted butter. Blend or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and swirl it around to form a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to curl up and the bottom is lightly browned.
3. Use a spatula to flip the crepe over and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 8-10 crepes.
4. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of Smorzasoel onto each crepe, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Roll up the crepes and place them seam-side down on a serving platter.
6. Dust the crepes with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
