EASY WHOLE-GRAIN CREPE image

Categories     Healthy

Yield 6 Crepes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, preferably white whole-wheat (see Tip)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 teaspoons canola oil or melted butter
1/2 cup seltzer water

Steps:

  • Directions 1. Process whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar (for sweet crepes), salt, eggs, milk and oil (or butter) in a blender or food processor until smooth, scraping the sides once or twice. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. 2. Slowly whisk seltzer into the batter. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 cup batter into the center of the pan; immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread evenly over the bottom. 3. Cook until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a heatproof silicon or rubber spatula, lift the edge, then quickly grasp the crepe with your fingers and flip. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate. 4. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go. If the pan begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium. As you prepare your filling, cover crepes with a clean kitchen towel or keep warm in a 200°F oven. 5. To assemble, place a crepe on a clean cutting board. Spread a filling of your choice in the center, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Fold in the sides to make a square shape, leaving a "window" in the center. Press down on the corners, as necessary, to help keep the crepe folded. Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer. To Make Ahead: Prepare the batter through Step 1 and refrigerate for up to 12 hours; refrigerate crepes between sheets of wax paper and wrapped in plastic for up to 2 days.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crepes didn't turn out at all like the picture. They were more like pancakes.

These crepes were a disaster! They were thick and rubbery, and they didn't taste good at all.

These crepes were a little too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These crepes were delicious! I used almond milk instead of regular milk and they still turned out great.

These crepes were a hit with my family! They're so light and fluffy, and the whole grain flour gives them a nutty flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
