this is a recipe for making the Crepe.. It's really easy once you get the hang of swirling the pan quickly..I use them to make leftovers look elegant, and for desserts. the prep time does not include the rest time for the batter. Ingredients:
savory |
1 cup + 2 tbsp. sifted flour |
pinch of salt |
3 beaten eggs |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1 tbsp. melted butter |
dessert: add |
4 tbsp. sugar |
optional: 1 1/2 tbsp. cognac |
or 1/2 teasp. of your favorite favor extract |
Directions:
1. in a blender: place all the above ingredients EXCEPT the butter
2. blend on a low speed until very smooth
3. add melted butter. mix in don't beat
4. let mixture stand at least 2 hours before cooking
5. ..............................................................
6. Cooking crepes:
7. ..............................................................
8. heat small skillet about 5 1/2 inches in diameter over med. high heat
9. when the skillet is hot add 1/2 teasp. butter
10. swirl around the bottom and sides of the skillet
11. pour in 1 TBSP. batter.
12. rotate and tilt the pan VERY QUICKLY. to spread the batter around the bottom of the pan.
13. this must be done before the batter has a chance to set..
14. ( once you get the hang of that it's very easy..and quick) the first ones may come out a little thick... they still taste fine!!
15. Cook crepe for 1 min., or until it is set and brown
16. loosen sides with a spatula and flip crepe over quickly with your fingers.
17. lightly brown second side. you don't want it as brown as the first side
18. the second side is the inside of the crepe..
19. stack crepes on top of each other until you are finished
20. if they are for a savory dish .. meat etc.. you can stack them between paper towels or dust them very lightly with flour to keep from sticking together
21. if they are for a dessert, you can lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar to keep them from sticking together
22. .....................................................................
23. STORAGE:
24. .....................................................................
25. you can make these ahead of time . they will keep several days in the refrigerator if wrapped...
26. or they can be frozen...
27. let crepes sit at room temperature for easy separation before using
