QUICK N' EASY FRUIT CREPES

Steps:

• Spray non-stick on pan, and heat on medium heat.
• Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup.
• When pan is ready (water droplets thrown on it should sizzle), pour on crepe batter until desired size. (Swivel the pan a little to spread out the batter a bit).
• Once the edges have changed colour and firmed up, flip the crepe and leave on the other side for about 10 seconds.
• Cover with fruit topping and whipped cream.
• Fruit Topping Suggestion: Combine frozen fruit in pot with water and sugar (You can use fresh fruit too, I just happen to have a lot of frozen fruit handy.).
• Heat on medium high heat (while you are making the crepes).
• When it's heated you can either leave as is or puree it.
