Strawberry Crepes

Have I mentioned how much I love breakfast foods, especially sweet, pastry, dessert-like dishes? If I could guiltlessly get away with whipping together something like these delicious crepes each morning and not suffer the consequences of a 30-somethings metabolism, I totally would...but since I can't , I try to reserve these for a weekend or special occasion...They are pretty much amazing. Serve these for brunch to visiting guests or for a fun dessert.

Crepes:

1 cup flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted

Add all ingredients and either mix with a wire whisk or blend in blender. Beat until smooth. If using a crepe maker, pour mixture into a shallow pie pan and dip crepe maker into batter. Heat and remove. If using a greased frying pan, pour a small amount into pan and heat on medium until edges begin to look dry. Remove. Yields 16 crepes.

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp almond extract
