The other day, I read a post on an internet forum that asked the question, “The more _____ a man has, the less likely he is to stray.” Well, I asked the husband, and he immediately, with no hesitation, answered, “food.”

Other husbands on the forum answered “home cooked meals” and “good food” along with other answers I’m sure you can think of.

What’s your answer? Or ask your husband and let me know his answer.

Anyway, if your guy is like mine, this recipe is a really great way to use up the leftover egg yolks after you make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins.

Delicious Nectarine Crepes

Delicious Vanilla Crepes Recipe

You Will Need:

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tbsp sugar (I used brown sugar)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 5 Tbsp. melted butter

Mix together the milk, egg yolks, and vanilla. Stir in flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter until well blended and bubbly.

Meanwhile, start your filling.

Fruit Filling Recipe – Nectarines

You will need:

• 3 nectarines, sliced thinly, though I’m sure fresh peaches would do quite nicely too.
• a little bit of orange juice
• a generous sprinkling of brown sugar
• some cinnamon, if you like that sort of thing

Throw it in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, covered while you make the crepes, stirring occasionally.

Heat crepe pan over medium heat. Use nonstick spray if you need to, but my pans are so awesome I don’t need it.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and tip in a circular motion until the batter is spread thin to the edges. When the edges pull away a little bit and it’s easy to shake the crepe in the pan, it’s ready to flip. A few seconds after I took this picture, I flipped this one.

Flipping in the air is best, because it’s just awesome.

Cook for a few seconds on the other side.

Keep going until you have a stack of them and you’ve run out of batter.

By now, your nectarines have cooked fully and are swimming in a delicious syrup. Put a bit in the center of each crepe, folding the crepe over, and top with some more of the fruit mixture. Delicious!

These crepes are fantastically easy and I’m sure you could fill them with almost anything. In fact, later in the week, we had some leftover chicken and rice with a creamy sauce, and it tasted fantastic wrapped up in a crepe for lunch.

I can’t wait to try them with fresh strawberries and whipped cream sometime. Mmm… The strong vanilla flavor can’t be beat.
