Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 36 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup water
6 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 pound (2 cups) strawberries, washed
1/2 pound (2 cups) blackberries, washed
1/3 cup sugar
Splash orange liqueur, optional
2 cups fromage blanc
2 cups marscarpone
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (from 2 large oranges)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from 1 large orange)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the batter: Blend the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add the milk, water, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, and process until smooth. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the fruit: While batter rests, hull and halve the strawberries. Toss with blackberries, sugar, and orange liqueur, if using, in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • For the filling: Whisk the cheeses with the sugar, orange zest and juice, and the vanilla extract.
  • To make the crepes: Heat an 6-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles briefly on its surface before evaporating. Quickly pour in about 2 tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl it to coat the skillet evenly. Cook until the batter sets, about 30 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until just barely golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they cook.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on the lower left-hand corner of each crepe. Fold crepe in half, then half again to make a triangle with filling in the tip. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Stack filled crepes neatly on serving platter (or hotel pan). (The crepes can be prepared up to this point a day ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.)
  • To serve: Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F. Cover crepes with foil and warm in the oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the macerated berries over the crepes and serve.

CREPES WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE



CREPES WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE image

Categories     Fruit     Breakfast     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Crepes:
1 cup Milk
2 large Eggs
1 cup Flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons water
For the Berry Sauce:
2 cups of frozen mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Put the frozen berries, sugar, water, and vanilla into a small pot and simmer on medium heat until all of the berries break down and melt together into a sauce-like consistency. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Mix all of the dry and wet ingredients for the crepes together with a wisk until well blended and smooth. Heat a medium-sized pan to medium heat and cover the pan lightly with butter or vegetable oil. Once heated, spoon out the batter into the pan. Spread the batter out so each crepe is about palm-size and circular. Once the crepe looks lighter in color and dry/cooked, flip the crepes and do the same on the other side. You can cook until a little bit browned too, depending on what consistency you prefer. Once you finish cooking the crepes, plate them and spoon the berry mixture over each crepe and serve. You can dust with powdered sugar as well.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Before starting to cook, ensure that all of your ingredients are measured, prepped, and organized to make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Use ripe berries: Fresh, ripe berries will provide the best flavor and texture to your crepes. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will also work well.
  • Don't overcook the crepes: Crepes should be cooked just until they are set and slightly golden brown. Overcooked crepes will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve crepes immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are cooked. The longer they sit, the softer they will become.
  • Get creative with your fillings: You can fill your crepes with a variety of fillings, such as fruit, cheese, whipped cream, or chocolate. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

Mixed berry crepes are a delicious and versatile breakfast, brunch, or dessert option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
