Provided by Three Many Cooks

Yield Makes about 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup milk
⅓ cup water
2 large eggs
10 tablespoons (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) instant (Wondra) flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, plus extra for brushing pan

Steps:

  • Measure milk and water in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Whisk in eggs, then flour, salt, and oil. (Can be covered and refrigerated several days.)
  • Heat a small (8-inch) skillet over medium heat. Working 1 crepe at a time, brush skillet bottom with oil. Dip a ¼ cup measuring cup into batter, filling it a generous half full. With tilted pan in one hand, pour batter into hot skillet, as you turn the skillet all around so that batter completely coats pan bottom. Cook until crepe bottom is spotty brown, about 30 seconds. Turn and cook until spotty brown on the other side, 10 to 15 seconds longer. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with oil between making each crepe.

FAKE CREPES

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
Four 8-inch wheat tortillas, room temperature
1/2 stick salted butter
1 1/3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts, or pistachios, or pecans
Sliced bananas, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Divide the chocolate hazelnut spread among the tortillas and spread evenly over half of the surface of each.
  • On a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter until bubbly. Add 1 or 2 of the tortillas, spread-side up, to the griddle. Spread 1/3 cup marshmallows in an even, single layer over the chocolate spread on each tortilla. Cook until the tortillas bubble in the pan and turn light golden brown on the bottom.
  • Using a spatula, quickly fold the uncovered half of the tortilla over the marshmallows, making a half-circle. Press on the top of the tortillas gently to seal. When the marshmallows are slightly melted and spongy, flip the crepe and let stand in the pan until the underside is just hot; do not overcook.
  • Transfer the crepes to a cutting board and let stand for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining butter, tortillas, and marshmallows.
  • To serve, put the chopped hazelnuts on a plate. Cut the crepes in half crosswise, and then quickly press the cut side and round edges into the nuts to adhere. Sprinkle additional nuts over the top and serve immediately garnished with banana slices, if desired.

FLOURLESS CREPES



Flourless Crepes image

I am in the first phase of South Beach and wanted to find something that I could have for breakfast with my 1 yr old that was quick,easy (tasted good) and was more than just scrambled eggs. Plus as my mother-in-law is a celiac (can't eat anything with gluten), I'm always trying to create things for her enjoyment as well. I filled it with the SB mocha creme and it hit the spot. I plan to make later today with out the vanilla and splenda and maybe add a pinch of salt to use as a wrap for lunch. Hope you like it!

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Crepes     Savory

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 dash vanilla extract
1 cup milk
cooking spray (such as Pam®)

Steps:

  • Mix flour, 1 cup milk, and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir butter, sugar, and vanilla extract into flour mixture until smooth. Add remaining 1 cup milk; mix until just blended.

Tips:

  • Use a nonstick pan or griddle for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
  • Heat the pan or griddle over medium heat before adding the batter. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will brown too quickly and not cook through.
  • Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepes. If the crepe is not cooked through, it will tear when you try to flip it.
  • Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, such as fruit, cheese, or chocolate. You can also serve them plain with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
  • Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

Conclusion:

With the right ingredients, technique, and a little practice, you can make perfect crepes every time. These versatile pancakes are a delicious and elegant addition to any breakfast, brunch, or dessert menu. So next time you're in the mood for something special, give crepes a try!
