Chocolate and Strawberry Crepes

• 1 cup Our Family all-purpose flour

• 2 Our Family eggs
• 1/2 cup Our Family 2% milk

• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp Our Family butter, melted
• Chocolate Hummus
• 1/4 cup strawberries, sliced

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs, and butter. Will blending with a hand blender, gradually add in the milk, water, and vanilla extract.
2. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
3. Heat a lightly oiled frying pay. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, pour the batter into the frying pan. Tilt the pan to allow the batter to coat the entire pan evenly. The batter should be very thin.
