Crepes

Crepes
1 cup evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 TB sugar
1 cup flour

Put ingredients in order in blender and blend until smooth. Pour ~3TB onto an 8-9" frying pan that has been buttered or sprayed with Pam. Lift and rotate pan around so mixture spreads out in a circle (very thin). Flip crepe like a pancake as soon as edges begin to come up (less than a minute on each side when pan is hot). Fill with: Nutella and bananna slices; ham and cheese; chicken mixtures; cherry pie filling; fresh fruit of choice and/or syrup of choice; etc. Whatever you can come up with!
