THE BEST CREPES



The Best Crepes image

Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

Time 8h30m

Yield 15 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for the pan

Steps:

  • Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
  • Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
  • Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
  • For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 12-14 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine milk and eggs, blend until foamy, approx 20 seconds or so. Turn off.
  • Add sugar and salt, blend for a few seconds turn off.
  • Add melted butter and vanilla, blend a few seconds turn off.
  • Add flour, blend until all mixed.
  • Okay now for cooking them, this is what I did --
  • I had a small tefal frying pan, (measured 6-1/2 on bottom, 9-1/2 or so across top) I sprayed it with non-stick Butter Flavor cooking spray. Heat it on medium-high heat.
  • Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup and dump crepe mixture into pan, swirl around real quick to coat bottom of pan.
  • I used a silicon spatula to lift edges of crepe and to form round if any stray edges -- it will start to bubble, not much, but its safe to flip when you see edges on underside becoming brown. Just flip with plastic spatula.
  • So once first side cooked, flip and cook about 2 minutes or so, transfer to plate and continue with rest of batter.
  • *** Each crepe I made, I sprayed pan with butter cooking spray. So when I took crepe out, i sprayed bottom of pan before putting next cup of batter, do each time.
  • Serve with powdered sugar, jam, fruits any filling of your choice!
  • *** For chocolate crepes, add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to blender when adding in vanilla.
  • *** For saltier crepes to make with meat or veggies, omit sugar and vanilla.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the crepes from sticking. To season your pan, heat it over medium heat and add a thin layer of butter or oil. Swirl the butter or oil around the pan to coat it evenly. Then, reduce the heat to low and let the pan cool completely.
  • Use the right amount of batter: The amount of batter you use will depend on the size of your pan. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of batter for an 8-inch pan.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the crepes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the crepes only once: Once the edges of the crepe start to brown and the bottom is golden, flip it over. Do not flip the crepe more than once, or it will become tough.
  • Keep the crepes warm: As you cook the crepes, keep them warm in a preheated oven or in a warm place on the stovetop.

Conclusion:

Crepes are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can master the art of making crepes and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. So, next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give crepes a try. You won't be disappointed!
