Strawberry Crepes




Strawberry Crepes

4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 -1 1/2 cup flour
melted butter (opt.)

Mix eggs, milk, salt, and sugar until well blended. Slowly add flour. Add more if you like a thicker consistancy or less if you want it thinner. Spray a pan with cooking spray or butter.
