Berry and Cream Cheese Crepes



Brunch has always been one of my favorite meals, there's just something thoroughly enjoyable about sipping a cup of coffee and slowly enjoying a good meal with the knowledge that you still have a whole day ahead of you to enjoy. This crepe recipe from one of my favorite vegan food blogs is absolutely delicious. Try replacing some or all of the white flour with spelt flour for a healthier alternative.

Basic Crepe Recipe
1/2 Cup Soymilk
2/3 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Earth Balance, melted
1 Cup Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Tbs Sugar (sweet crepes only, optional)
2 tsp Vanilla Extract (sweet crepes only, optional)
2 Tbs Water, to thin if needed
 
Place all the ingredients in a blender or in a bowl. Blend or whisk until smooth. Transfer to a 2 Cup measuring cup (for pouring) and refrigerate for 30 minutes. While the batter is refrigerating, prepare your fillings.

To serve the crepes I suggest spreading on a bit of vegan cream cheese (Tofutti brand is pretty good, but make sure you get the non-hydrogenated cream cheese!) and then topping with fresh or frozen berries.
