Crêpes
Recipe: Place all the ingredients in
your blender or food processor and process for about 15-30 seconds or until smooth. Or you
can make the batter by hand. In a large bowl whisk the flour with the sugar and
salt. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract
and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and then
gradually pour in the egg mixture, whisking until combined and smooth. Strain if necessary to remove any lumps. (The
batter should have the consistency of light cream.) Cover and let sit at room
temperature about 15-30 minutes. Or place in the
refrigerator to chill for one hour, or up to two
days. After chilling the batter, if it's become too thick, thin it out with a little
milk or water.
When you're ready to make the
Crêpes, heat a 9 inch
(23 cm) non stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat until
a few sprinkles of water dropped on the pan sizzle, just a little. Adjust the
temperature as needed. Lightly butter the the pan. Lift the pan
from the heat and, using a small ladle or scoop, pour about 3-4 tablespoons of
the batter into the center of the hot pan. Tilt and swirl the pan so the batter forms an
even layer (does not have to be a perfect circle).
Cook until the edges of the
Crêpes start to curl and the top looks almost dry
(about 1-2 minutes). (The bottom of the
Crêpe will have a golden brown
lacy pattern.) Flip the
Crêpe
and continue to cook for about 15-30 seconds or until you have brown spots
over the surface. Remove from heat and place on a plate or wire rack.
Continue to cook and stack the
Crêpes. If you want to keep the
Crêpes warm, you can cover them with a clean
cloth or a piece of aluminum foil. Or you can place them in a 150 degrees F
(65 degrees C) oven. If not eaten right away the
Crêpes
can be stacked and wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap and stored in the
refrigerator for two days or they can be frozen
for about one month. Reheat the
Crêpes in the oven or in a
hot skillet.
Makes about 10 to 12 - 9 inch
(23 cm)
Crêpes.
