SAVORY CREPES

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 (8-inch) large crepes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk, divided use
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus whole butter for cooking crepes

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter. Add the remaining cup of milk and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill the batter for at least 30 minutes or several hours.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Just before you are ready to make the crepes, whisk in the melted butter. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; if it is too thick, add milk slowly while whisking constantly until it is the right texture.
  • Heat a 9-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan or spray with vegetable spray and heat the pan until a drop of water "dances" across the surface.
  • Using a ladle or a measuring cup with a lip, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Hold the pan with 1 hand and pour the batter in with the other. Swirl the pan while pouring so that the batter covers the pan thinly and evenly for each crepe. Pour off any excess batter. Try not to leave any holes. After the first few crepes you will know exactly how much batter your pan will hold.
  • Cook the crepe over medium-high heat until the edges turn brown, about 15 seconds. Flip the crepe using a small spatula and your fingers. Cook on the second side for another 10 to 15 seconds. The second side will not be as evenly browned as the first side. Remove the pan from the heat and invert it over a warm plate to stack the crepes. Keep warm until ready to use. Continue making crepes with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.
  • If not using immediately, place a square of waxed paper between each 1, place in a resealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Crepes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for several months. Reheat uncovered in a low oven (250 degrees) for 15 minutes or until warm. Fill with your favorite filling.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
8 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
⅓ cup diced onion
⅓ cup diced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons diced jalapeno pepper
½ cup chopped ham
2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed, divided

Steps:

  • Combine milk, flour, eggs, cilantro, melted butter, and chile-garlic sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth and very thin, about 1 minute. Set batter aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a crepe pan or small skillet over medium heat. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter into the pan using a pastry brush and add 1/2 cup of crepe batter. Pick up the pan, tipping and rotating so batter forms a round shape and evenly coats the entire bottom of the pan. Return the pan to the burner and cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Loosen crepe carefully using a spatula and gently flip it to brown the other side; cook for 30 to 60 seconds. Slide cooked crepe onto a plate. Repeat to cook additional crepes, adding more butter if needed, and stacking crepes on top of the first.
  • Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in ham and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir 1 tablespoon melted butter into the skillet. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring until eggs are scrambled and wet, but no longer runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture across the lower 1/3 of a crepe and roll up like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.

Time 2h50m

Yield Makes about 18 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups milk
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate, at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Whisk batter until smooth. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet (pan should measure 8 inches across the bottom) or crepe pan over medium and brush with butter. Tilt skillet at a 45 degree angle, pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, and swirl to evenly distribute in a thin film across the bottom. Cook until edges of crepe pull away from pan and turn golden, about 1 minute. Flip and cook just until set, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, whisking between crepes, buttering pan every few crepes, and stacking finished crepes. Cool completely.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a good quality crepe pan: A good crepe pan will help you achieve evenly cooked crepes with a nice golden brown color. If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular non-stick skillet.
  • Heat the pan properly: The pan should be hot enough to sizzle when you add the batter, but not so hot that it smokes. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and brown too much.
  • Use a thin layer of batter: The thinner the batter, the crispier the crepes will be. If the batter is too thick, the crepes will be thick and doughy.
  • Cook the crepes for a short amount of time: Crepes cook very quickly, so it's important to cook them for a short amount of time on each side. Otherwise, they will become dry and rubbery.
  • Be patient: Making crepes takes a little bit of practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few crepes don't turn out perfectly. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

Conclusion:

Savory western crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great option for any occasion. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give savory western crepes a try.
