A Sunday morning Minnie Mouse inspired breakfast

Winter is approaching, school is back in full swing and I thought we needed a bit of cheering up this morning, so I made these for breakfast......


.....I know they aren't stylist perfect, they are a real breakfast and were served hot! 

I made a batch of crepes then used my Mickey cutter (which started life as an egg ring but used for a variety of other things as seen here) to cut out the main mouse shapes - I got 2 per crepe and using the scraps, i cut out the bow shapes which I turned over to show the different colour.

The nose and eyes are sultanas and a raisin, and shortly after I took this photo, Minnie was swimming in Maple syrup.  Yum!!





My crepe recipe: (well not mine, but I don't know where it came from and I use it all the time)

3 eggs, 115g plain flour, 250ml skimmed milk - an electric whisk - my experience is that a regular whisk doesn't get the same results.

It's really simple: Beat the eggs, once they are all bubbly and fluffy looking, add the flour quite slowly to create something affectionately known as 'flubber' (it's about right when it tries climbing up the whisk - you will know what I mean when it happens!) then add the milk, I add a little first and use the whisk (turned off) to gently start stirring it in to save it splashing everywhere before adding and whisking the rest.  And as quickly as that, its done - less hassle than a ready made packet!!
