After breakfast, we had some of the cream left over so we used it as a fruit dip, yum. I liked the idea of a fruit dip that wasn't so sweet. It was a nice twist from the fruit dips I have used and seen in the past. Hope you enjoy this no matter how you end up using it!

Crepes (My mom's recipe--can't make one better!)
2 eggs
2 cups + 2 tablespoons milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
pinch of salt
Whisk wet ingredients together. Add in the dry ingredients and whisk to combine (try to get the lumps out, but its ok if there are a few). Refrigerate batter for an hour or more. In hot, lightly greased fry pan, pour batter to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Flip when top of crepe looks dry. Fry for 15 seconds more and remove. Repeat the process until batter is gone.
