Playing with food - Kohlrabi

I saw this miserable looking kohlrabi, neglected and sad.  So I decided to give it a beauty makeover.   Similar to cosmetic surgery but for vegetables -  You know what I mean.   Afterall, I have not done any carving for months. 
       

Crepe filled with Kohlrab

This is a standard dish with us when kohlrab is plenty.  Usually, the pancakes/crepes are made with a crepe pan.  And when there are leftover pancakes, we would have them with jams, chocolate spread or peanut butter.

The following receipe makes 6-10 pancakes (in a Tamago pan of course).

Crepes Ingredients

• 150 gm allpurpose flour
• 1 tsp sugar + 2 eggs (L)
• 250 ml fresh milk
• 1 pinch of salt
• oil for pan

Method

1. Mix all (except oil) and let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a crepe pan or any non-stick shallow pan.
3. Add enough oil to cover pan.
4. Turn heat down to medium and pour in enough of pancake dough to cover the whole pan thinly.
5. When the sides start to curl, flip pancake/crepe over and cook till desired 'tan'.
6. Note: I used a Tamago egg pan to make crepes in this receipe
