Crepes

I still remember the first time I had crepes. I spent the night over at a friend's house and that morning her dad made them. They were so good. Since then I became gluten free and asked her dad for the recipe. So here it is.

Ingredients:

6 eggs

1½ C flour

2 C milk

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp powder sugar

2 tsp vanilla

Butter

Toppings of choice

Instructions:

1. Mix all the ingredients together. You can use a blender.

2. Warm up a 6 to 8 inch pan

3. Coat the bottom of the pan in butter so batter will not stick

4. Pour a little batter and swirl it. 

5. Wait until it starts to bubble then flip it.

6. Wait a little bit then remove from pan.

7. Repet steps 3-6 until batter is gone

8. Put topping on and roll them up.

9. Enjoy

Banana Bread

So far this is my favorite banana bread recipe. It taste good gluten free as well. I honestly have never made it non gluten free. I usually have little extra batter that I use as doughnuts. Eventually I'll get a mini bread pan for it. 

1 cup granulated sugar

8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large eggs

3 ripe bananas

1 Tbsp milk

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. 

Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla.

In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. 

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 

Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears. Add chocolate chips here.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing. 

Enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of posting. Between being back in school and birthdays. I haven't been able to post as much. I have been trying new foods lately. So hopefully I'll get some new ideas.
