VANILLA CREPES
When I was a little girl, my mother would always make us crepes on Sundays. I also loved the smell of vanilla when my mother would make her cookies. So, I would always ask her to make her cookies, and when she refused, I would take out the vanilla and sit it next to me with the cap open, so that I could breathe the aroma. My mother get a kick out of this, and said, well, if it's that important, we'll add a little vanilla kick, just for you. After the first time she put the vanilla in, there was never a last...it became a tradition.

Tips:
- Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
- Heat the pan over medium heat: If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and brown too much. If the pan is too cool, the crepes will not cook evenly.
- Use a thin layer of batter: A thick layer of batter will make the crepes difficult to flip and will result in a dense, chewy crepe. A thin layer of batter will make the crepes light and airy.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side: The crepes should be cooked until they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. If you cook them for too long, they will become dry and tough.
- Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served warm. You can fill them with your favorite fillings, such as fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
