Crepes

Crepes are one of those desserts (or breakfasts) that I absolutely love - but we rarely have because I always think that they take so much work. But in all honesty they don't! The pudding comes together in just ten minutes and the batter takes just 5 more. The longest part of the process is the actual making of the crepes, but if you have two pans - even that goes really fast. I'd been really craving crapes lately, and so we finally made them and they were so delicious! Chocolate pudding for me, banana pudding for David - so so good! 

Crepes

Source: All Recipes

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla

Any filling/toppings desired, such as pudding, strawberries, bananas, whipped cream etc...

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the salt.  Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the egg and butter; beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Triple Chocolate Bunt Cake

My mother-in-law makes this delicious bunt cake that she calls Death by Chocolate cake. It's always a crowd favorite and there is never anything more than crumbs left over. It comes out of this little paper recipe book that she has and we all love it. I finally got my act together and called her up to get the recipe for a party that I was hosting and I'm so glad that I did. I renamed it, because you use three different chocolate ingredients and I think that it rolls off the tongue nicely.

1 chocolate cake mix

1 small instant chocolate pudding mix

3/4 cup sour cream

4 eggs

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

1-2 cups of chocolate chips

Directions:

Grease and flour a bunt pan. (This cake will sometimes fall apart if you don't grease it well - so be generous). In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, water, and oil. After mixed thoroughly, add pudding and cake mix. Stir in chocolate chips and pour into bunt pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and let cool for no more than 5 minutes before flipping the bunt pan over to remove cake. Top with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
