LOW-FAT, LOWER CALORIE AND GREAT-TASTING CREPES



Low-Fat, Lower Calorie and Great-Tasting Crepes image

We love crepes, but not so much the heavy calories and fat from a traditional crepe recipe. This recipe creates the same consistency crepe as you'd want for breakfast, skip the Splenda for a dinner crepe, and it's super easy, too.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 16 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups skim milk
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons sugar substitute, such as Splenda
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons margarine, melted, such as Smart Balance
canola oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Prepare 8-9 inch diameter saute pan by heating on low heat on stove.
  • Beat eggs together with milk using whisk.
  • Add vanilla extract and Splenda and continue to blend.
  • Add flour in increments, blending into the mixture.
  • Drizzle melted margarine into batter, continuing to blend with whisk. Set aside.
  • Turn heat up to medium on saute pan, and spray lightly with cooking spray for the first crepe. If the cooking spray turns brown, the pan is too hot. The spray should remain a clear color.
  • Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Pick up the pan and swirl the batter to where it forms a circle. (A circular crepe takes practice. The key is to keep the batter thin and uniform in the pan.).
  • When the outside of the crepe's edges start to brown and the top of the crepe is no longer a wet appearance, flip the crepe over. Let it cook just a minute more so it's cooked through. Remove from pan onto a plate. Flip the crepe into a half, then another half, where it forms a quarter of a circle shape.
  • Continue the steps above until all the batter has been used.

HEALTHIER BASIC CREPES

I love this recipe because it is so simple to make. I have made it healthier by substituting whole wheat flour and 1% milk. I like to fill them with non-fat plain Greek yogurt and blueberries warmed in maple syrup. Yum!

Tips for Making Crepes:

  • Use the right pan. A good crepe pan is essential for making perfect crepes. Look for a pan that is at least 8 inches in diameter and has a non-stick surface.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to cook the crepes quickly, but not so hot that they burn.
  • Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan. This will help you to create evenly sized crepes.
  • Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly. This will help to create a thin, even crepe.
  • Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes per side. The crepe should be golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crepes immediately. Crepes are best served hot, so fill them with your favorite fillings and enjoy them right away.

Conclusion:

Crepes are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect crepes at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give crepes a try. You won't be disappointed!
