Best 5 Amaretto Crepes Recipes

AMARETTO

Steps:

• Combine water and sugars in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is boiling, and all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
• Stir vodka, almond extract and vanilla extract into the mixture. Store in a sealed bottle.

AMARETTO CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place six 6-oz. oval or round ramekins or custard cups in 13x9-inch pan. In medium bowl, combine egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar; beat with wire whisk until light and fluffy. Add whipping cream, amaretto, vanilla and salt; mix well.
• Strain mixture into 4-cup measuring cup or another medium bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup mixture into each ramekin. Pour hot water into pan until halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover loosely with foil.
• Bake at 350°F. for 40 to 50 minutes or until edges are set but center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken. Remove ramekins from water bath; place on wire racks to cool for 30 minutes. Pour out water from pan.
• Transfer ramekins to same pan. Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours before serving.
• Sprinkle each ramekin with 1 teaspoon sugar. Watching constantly, broil custards 4 to 6 inches from heat for 1 to 4 minutes or until sugar bubbles and is caramelized. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours to harden topping.
• Just before serving, sprinkle toasted almonds over chilled crème brûlée. Store in refrigerator.

AMARETTO CREPES

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and stir in the sugar. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the eggs. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs. Stir in the milk, amaretto and melted butter, stirring until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Strain the batter through a fine sieve. Place a 7- or 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat. When hot, brush the pan with clarified butter. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it to evenly cover the bottom. Cook until lightly browned, flip and cook the other side. Transfer the crepe to a plate lined with plastic wrap or waxed paper.
• Continue until all the batter is used, placing the crepes between layers of paper towels. They will keep up to 3 days well wrapped in the refrigerator.

EASY CREPES WITH BRANDY

Steps:

• In a blender, combine milk and eggs. Mix on medium-high speed until foamy, about 10 seconds. Turn blender to low speed and remove feed top. With blender going, add sugar and salt. Replace feed top and blend on high speed for a few seconds, then turn blender back to low. In the same manner, add butter, brandy, and vanilla, replacing feed top and blending for several seconds after each addition. Turn blender off. Add flour all at once and blend until just combined.
• Place crepe pan over moderately high heat. With flexible spatula, spread a tiny amount of butter in pan (an alternative method is to brush the pan with melted butter using a pastry brush) and heat until butter just begins to smoke. Pour ¼ to ⅓ cup batter into the center of the pan. As you pour, quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread a thin layer of batter across the bottom. Pour in just enough batter to cover the pan.
• Cook crepe over moderately high heat until bubbles just begin to form on the exposed surface, about one to two minutes. Lift up the edge to check the cooking process-if the crepe starts to burn before it is cooked through, turn down the heat. If it is not nicely browned after two minutes, turn up the heat.
• When underside of crepe is browned, flip and cook another minute or less, until other side is browned. Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven, loosely covered with foil.
• Grease pan with a very small amount of butter and repeat process. Continue until remaining batter is used, stacking cooked crepes on a plate in the oven. To serve, sprinkle each crepe with sugar or spread with jelly and fold or roll up. Do Ahead: Crepe batter can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate, covered, and blend briefly to recombine before cooking.

SOUR CREAM CRêPES WITH SEVILLE ORANGE MARMALADE & AMARETTO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the pancakes, sift the flour into a bowl with a small pinch of salt and sugar and make a well in the middle. Crack the eggs into the well and whisk them into the flour. Mix the sour cream with 150ml water and pour this in too, whisking to incorporate until you have a smooth batter the consistency of double cream - add a splash more water or milk if needed. Leave to rest for 30 mins.
• For the sauce, whisk the cornflour with the orange juice until smooth. Warm it in a pan, stirring to thicken, for around 2 mins. Add the marmalade, amaretto and lemon juice and cook for a few mins more. Gradually add the butter, whisking until you have a glossy sauce.
• Stir the melted butter into the batter, then grease a non-stick pan and place over a high heat. Stir the batter, then ladle some into the pan. Swirl it around the pan and cook until it slips away from the pan when you shake it (a couple of mins). Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook the other side until it comes away and is golden and caramelised in patches. Remove to a plate and keep warm, either covered in foil or in a low oven. Repeat with the rest of the batter until you have a pile of pancakes. Dust each one with a little caster sugar and top with the marmalade amaretto sauce. Fold into four, top with a bit more sauce, scatter over the toasted almonds and serve.
