Fresh Strawberry Crepes - WW

YUMMY for my first attempt at making crepes. I got this recipe from my Weight Watchers class on Saturday mornings. We get new recipes all the time and there have only been a few that I have tried. This one looked good and do-able with the normal ingredients that I keep in my home. I don't like getting recipes from all over the place to find out that I have to buy all these different ingredients that I either have never heard of before, don't know what to do with them, or would probably never use again. So, here's one that was easy and I had all the ingredients (almost).

My first crepe

RECIPE:

5 large egg whites
1/8 tsp table salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fat-free milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 sprays cooking spray
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced very thin (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup powdered sugar

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, salt, vanilla extract, melted butter, milk and flour until just combined.

Coat an 8-9 inch skillet with cooking spray; set over medium heat. When pan is hot, add 1/4 cup of batter and tilt skillet to cover entire bottom of pan with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 2 minutes; flip over. Top with about 1/3 cup strawberries; cook for 2 minutes more. Fold crepe over and slide onto serving plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients; sprinkle with sugar.

My first crepe with fruit in it

Our Version:

We didn't have strawberries, so I opened up a can of peaches and sliced them thin. I didn't measure them when I put them on.

1 recipe = 8 crepes/servings

Our Opinion:

I liked it a lot. I've never made crepes before in my life. I have had them just 2-3 times before. I plan to do this again.

Husband - liked them but thought they were a little thick. I probably just needed to use a bigger pan or maybe it was because it was just egg whites and they were a little fluffier rather than heavy with yolk.

Kids - liked the fruit inside the most and the sugar on top. They weren't too sure about the crepes. I didn't get anything else made for dinner that night and I think that would have helped. Just a crepe with fruit didn't seem to cut it.
