Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 8 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large egg
1 1/4 cups milk (low or nonfat is fine)
3/4 cup Bisquick, plus
1 tablespoon Bisquick (lowfat is fine)
2 tablespoons butter, as needed
2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam (or other filing, as desired)
whipped cream

Steps:

  • Heat an electric griddle to 350º, or a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk the egg in large bowl. Whisk in the milk.
  • Add the Bisquick and whisk until there are few lumps. The batter will be thin.
  • Butter the griddle or skillet, using about 1-1/2 teaspoons of the butter.
  • Cook 2 crepes at once on griddle, or one at a time in skillet by pouring the batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.
  • Cook on the first side until the crepes begin to set and tiny bubbles appear on the surface, about 1 minute.
  • Turn and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
  • Repeat, butter the griddle/pan as needed, until all the batter is used.
  • Whisk jam in small bowl until smooth.
  • To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon jam over one side of each crepe. Squirt a generous amount of whip cream over the jam. Starting at that edge, gently roll up the crepe.
  • Garnich each with about 1 teaspoon of jam and dollop of cream.
  • You can also drizzle with chocolate syrup.
  • Serve at once.

Go French with Alton Brown's foolproof Crepes recipe from Good Eats on Food Network. Add veggies for a savory version; use chocolate and berries for dessert.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 17 to 22 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
Butter, for coating the pan

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
  • Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick pan: This will prevent the crepes from sticking and make them easier to flip.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat: If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and may burn.
  • Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan: This will help you to evenly distribute the batter and create thin, round crepes.
  • Cook the crepes for about 1 minute per side: The crepes should be golden brown when they are done.
  • Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings: Crepes can be filled with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, ham, vegetables, or fruit.
