Easy Crepes

2 Comments


Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cups milk

2 eggs

1 tsp vegetable oil (I used olive oil)

1/4 tsp salt

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk into smooth batter.

Heat a non-stick pan on stove with medium heat.

Add 1 big spoonful batter into pan. 

When the bottom turns a bit golden brown, it will be easily to flip over.


Heat the other side for a little while.

For the fillings, you can just spread hazelnut chocolate sauce. Then fold it and dust with icing sugar.


Or you can make cinnamon apple filling:

Melt 2 tsp butter in the pan. Add in 4 tsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. Stir evenly. Add in some small apple pieces. Turn off the stove when apple pieces are coasted with sauce evenly.



You can also change apple to banana.

It tastes really nice.

Pan-fried Pumpkin

Leave a comment


When I was in university, my best friend liked to order pan-fried pumpkin when we went to school canteen together. I was a little surprised. Pan-fried pumpkin is really that delicious? And now I also love this dish like she did.

It’s a healthy dish and easy to cook. First, peel pumpkin and chop it into medium chunks. Heat a little oil in the pan. Put in pumpkin chunks. Stir fry till pumpkin turns a little golden brown. Add in a little light soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir fry evenly. Cover the pan with lid till pumpkin turns softened. (If pumpkin gets a little burnt, spread a little water). Sprinkle spring onion and salt. Stir fry evenly. Then it’s done.
