We’ve been on a bit of a crepe-fest around here. I’m not sure what prompted it, but possibly it was just that I found a recipe that was simple and never failed. It’s so good in fact, that the teenager in the house used the recipe to make a 20 layer crepe cake for a French class assignment with no help from me.<\/p>\n
Our usual fillings are much less grand. Fresh squeezed lemon juice and sugar is the most frequent, with Nutella and strawberries a close second, although recently we combined the two with lemon curd and strawberries.<\/p>\n
Basic Crepes<\/b><\/p>\n
1 c flour
\n1\/4 t salt
\n1\/2 T sugar
\n1 1\/3 c milk
\n1 t vanilla
\n3 eggs
\n3 T melted butter<\/p>\n
Sift together flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, vanilla and eggs. Gradually whisk the milk\/egg mixture into the dry ingredients blending thoroughly to eliminate lumps. Whisk in the melted butter. If possible, allow the mixture to stand for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Heat a crepe pan or 12-inch nonstick skillet to medium. Lightly coat it with butter. Pour about 1\/3 cup batter onto the pan and quickly swirl to cover the bottom of the skillet.<\/p>\n
Cook until the underside is golden brown – about 2 minutes. Loosen the edge with a spatula, flip the crepe and cook another minute.<\/p>\n
Repeat until the batter is used up, adding more butter to the pan as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
