Hangover Cure

After a delicious dinner with the girls last night (and a few bottles of wine), we made our way over to a friend's going away party. It finally hit me during dinner; all of the amazing friends that I have made this year (let's face it, they are basically family after spending the last 10 months in a classroom together every day for 8 hours) are departing for the summer and I won't see most of them for the next 2 months. It's really going to be different without them, but I'm sure we will all be back in August with many stories to tell! Only 3 more days until I leave, and I'm getting excited and nervous all at the same time!

After waking up this morning, the events from last night came rushing back, along with a headache and hungry tummy. I went to wake up my friend who had slept over, and my first question to her was "what do you want for breakfast?" After giving her a few options she screamed "creeeepes!!" and this brings us to the best recipe for curing a hangover.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 tbsp corn starch dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water
1 Toblerone (100g)
Fresh fruit

In a bowl, combine the flour, eggs, water, milk, salt and butter and whisk until smooth. Heat a non-stick pan on medium and spray the pan with cooking spray. Place a ladle full of batter into the pan and rotate the pan with your wrist to distribute the batter evenly. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes and then flip and cook for 1 more minute. Finish cooking the rest of the batter, while keeping the rest of the crepes warm. While cooking the crepes, in a small saucepan heat up the raspberries on medium heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce becomes thickened. In a small bowl break up the Toblerone and microwave on high for 45 seconds - 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Do not over heat or else the chocolate will burn and become clumpy. Arrange the crepes on a plate and add the chocolate and raspberry sauce. Fill with fresh fruit and fold the crepe in half, then in half once more. Drizzle on more chocolate and raspberry sauce and serve!
