In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

About
I woke up super early this morning and ended up working up quite an appetite. I rummaged through the fridge and realized I still have quite a bit of cream cheese that needs to be used as well as 2 pints of fresh blueberries. Ideas started swarming around my head and before you knew it, kitchenAid and I were whipping up a batch of these babies! They’re pretty sweet so I paired them with some low-fat turkey bacon to add a savory flavor to the mix. It was GOOOOOD! Scott loved them.
Not hard at all, and very sweet and tasty!
