BASIC SWEET CREPES



Basic Sweet Crepes image

This recipe is from "JOY of COOKING" and it is the best Crepe recipe I know of. I make it all the time, in a blender, leaving it overnight in the refrigerator, to fix strawberry crepes for Sunday breakfast.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Pour the batter into a pitcher or other container with a pouring lip.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes or in refrigerate for up to 2 days. (This allows the flour to thoroughly absorb the liquid and gives the gluten in the flour a chance to relax.).
  • Place a nonstick or seasoned crepe pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with a little unsalted butter.
  • Stir the batter and pour about 2 tablespoons into the pan, lifting the pan off the heat and tilting and rotating it so that the batter forms an even, very thin layer. Cook until the top is set and the underside is golden. Turn the crepe over, using a spatula or your fingers (fingers work best here) and cook until the second side is lightly browned. Remove the crepe to a piece of wax paper. Continue cooking the rest of the crepes, buttering the pan and stirring the batter before starting each one.
  • Stack the finished crepes between sheets of wax paper.
  • Use immediately or let cool, wrap airtight and freeze for up to 1 month.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Crepes     Sweet

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ⅓ cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour sugar and salt until smooth.
  • Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick pan. This will make it much easier to flip the crepes without breaking them.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and be dry and crispy. If the pan is too cool, the crepes will not cook evenly.
  • Use a thin layer of batter. The thinner the batter, the more delicate the crepes will be.
  • Cook the crepes for about 1 minute per side. The crepes should be cooked until they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
  • Serve the crepes immediately. Crepes are best served warm, so don't let them sit around for too long before eating them.

Conclusion:

Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give crepes a try!
