Single Cooking - Pancakes and Crepes

Ah, the joys of cooking for one (or maybe two).  I have been cooking for almost 40 years, and when I first started cooking, it was for a family of six.  Through the years, I have cooked for a range of numbers, including large gatherings with thirty or more.  The most challenging part of cooking has been cooking for one.  Some food just does not keep well as leftovers

This morning, I craved pancakes, and I knew I didn't want to put in the work for just two pancakes; so I decided to make enough batter for six.  This will allow me to make crepes for the coming week.

Crepes

Make the pancake batter according to the package or recipe directions.  Then, add extra milk.  Notice the consistency of the batter before you add the extra milk.  Then, slowly add extra milk until the batter becomes noticeably thinner.

Cook according to package or recipe directions.

Fill your crepe with something yummy and then roll.

Here is a list of my favorite fillings:

orange marmalade with chocolate chips
peanut butter with banana slices
bakes cinnamon apples with raisins
chocolate chips

I then put 2 crepes in a zip bag and store in the refrigerator.

It only takes 30 seconds in the microwave to warm the crepes for breakfast later in the week.
