Basic Sweet Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Put the flour and salt and in a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, and then whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a small pat of butter in the pat and swirl around so that it lightly coats the surface.
• Add 1/3 cup of the batter and move your wrist in a circular pattern to coat the pan with thin even layer of batter. Cook for about 1 minute or until the first side browns lightly, then flip and cook 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Fill with jam, honey, sugar, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, bananas - anything sweet that you enjoy from your pantry.

Steps:

• Pour the batter into a pitcher or other container with a pouring lip.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes or in refrigerate for up to 2 days. (This allows the flour to thoroughly absorb the liquid and gives the gluten in the flour a chance to relax.).
• Place a nonstick or seasoned crepe pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with a little unsalted butter.
• Stir the batter and pour about 2 tablespoons into the pan, lifting the pan off the heat and tilting and rotating it so that the batter forms an even, very thin layer. Cook until the top is set and the underside is golden. Turn the crepe over, using a spatula or your fingers (fingers work best here) and cook until the second side is lightly browned. Remove the crepe to a piece of wax paper. Continue cooking the rest of the crepes, buttering the pan and stirring the batter before starting each one.
• Stack the finished crepes between sheets of wax paper.
• Use immediately or let cool, wrap airtight and freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, eggs, milk and butter until smooth. Let batter sit 30 minutes before using.
• Heat a 7-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat and brush with clarified butter or oil. Swirl 3 tablespoons of batter over bottom of pan, tilting to spread evenly. Cook until center is set and edges are lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a thin spatula to turn crepe and brown second side 30 seconds. Slide crepe out onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes as you finish them.
