Basic Crepes


2 eggs
2 Tbs canola oil
3 Tbs sugar (omit if making savory crepes)
1 C flour
1 1/3 C milk
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on low speed until combined, or whisk by hand until there are no lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat.  Hold pan with one hand while you pour the batter with the other hand.  Twirl the pan in a circular motion pouring just enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan.   Place on cooking surface and cook until edges are set and you can easily run a rubber spatula around the edge of the pan, 30 seconds.   Flip crepe and cook an additional 15-20 seconds.  Remove crepe from pan and either keep warm in the oven or cool to room temperature.  (recipe from Our Best Bites)        -Tricia

Refried Beans

2 cans refried beans
2 T. hot sauce
2/3 c. sour cream

Stir together on stove until heated through. Then place in casserole pan, sprinkling top with 1 c. grated monetary jack cheese.  Put in 350 oven until cheese is bubbly.  Serve with tortilla chips.
