Directions
Crepes:
Step 1:
Blend evaporated milk, eggs, flour, water, 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter, sugar and salt in blender, food processor or bowl. Mix until you have a smooth thin batter. Let batter stand at room temperature 30 minutes (this prevents tough crepes).
Step 2:
Heat a 10” (25 cm) non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush pan with remaining 1/2 tsp (2 mL) butter. Add about 1/2 cup (125 mL) batter to pan. Swirl batter around pan and pour excess batter back into bowl so crepe will be very thin. Cook until bottom browns, 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, and turn crepe over to cook until other side is pale golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove crepe to parchment lined surface and layer crepes with parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking.
Apple Cheddar Filling:
Step 3:
Melt butter in medium skillet. Add sugar, cinnamon and apples and cook over medium heat until apples just begin to soften. Place 1/4 of filling down centre of each crepe. Top with shredded cheese and roll. Garnish with additional cinnamon and icing sugar if desired.
Strawberry, Banana and Chocolate Sauce:
Step 4:
Combine strawberries and banana. Place fruit in centre of crepe. Roll and garnish with chocolate syrup.
