Quick Dulce de Leche with Crepes
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, 14 oz each
Pot of boiling water
4 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp melted butter
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

For dulce de leche: place unopened can of condensed milk in a pot of boiling water. Turn can every 30 minutes for a total of 2 hours. Let can cool for 30 minutes before opening. 

For crepes: combine eggs, milk, flour, water, butter, salt, and vanilla in a blender and process until smooth. Let batter rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Pulse quickly in blender again before using. Heat 8-inch saute pan. Add small amount of butter, let melt and bubble. Pour in enough batter to create a thin layer on bottom of pan. Roll pan around to coat surface. Cook until the edges start to crisp and turn brown and top surface is set. Turn the crepe over and cook briefly. Remove crepe from pan and transfer to baking sheet. Add more butter to pan and repeat. Hold crepes in 200 deg oven if need to keep warm. 

Serve crepes with dulce de leche and vanilla ice cream.
