Crepes

Hello world, I'm SweetPea, and I love to cook. Do you also like to cook?
In that case, I think we'll be great friends :)
I've decided to start off by giving you a simple crepe recipe, that can be either for dessert or for breakfast, with cheese and ham.

Crepes:
1 c Flour
1c Milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Butter, melted
Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for sweet crepes)
Pinch of season salt (optional, for savory crepes)

1. Whisk together milk and eggs, and in a separate bowl mix the flour with the salt, and cinnamon or season salt if you decided to add it.
2. Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients, whisking in a little at a time until fully incorporated. The batter should be pretty smooth.
3. Finally, whisk in the melted butter put it in the fridge. In the meantime, start heating up a nonstick skillet or a saucepan, and if you're using a saucepan, be sure use nonstick cooking spray.
4. When your pan is nice and hot turn the flame to medium and pour about a quarter cup of batter into the pan, and swirl the pan, tilting it so that the batter spreads into an even layer. Don't worry if it's not perfect, it's pretty hard the first time. Trust me, and if you need more batter in the pan just add a little more so that your crepe doesn't have holes in it.
5. As the crepe cooks, you will see it get lighter, and after about 5 minutes, or when the edges turn golden brown, it's flipping time!! After you flip, turn the heat down to med-low. When the bottom is golden-brown, your crepe is ready for the eating!!

My favorite topping is raspberry jam for sweet, and turkey slices and cheese for savory. Enjoy!!
