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.

BUCKWHEAT CRêPES
My favorite French street food, these are easy crêpes to make. If you keep them in the freezer, you can pull one out and top it with blanched spinach and a fried or poached egg for a quick and delicious meal. In France the crepe is made on a large, flat, hot griddle, and the egg is cracked right on top of it. That doesn't work well in a home crêpe pan. It's easier to have the crêpe already made and then top it with the fried egg.

Steps:
- Place the milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender. Cover the blender, and turn on at low speed. Add the flours, then the canola oil, and increase the speed to high. Blend for one minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for one to two hours.
- Place a seasoned 7- or 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil, and when the pan is hot, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt or swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly, and return to the heat. Cook for about one minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. Turn onto a plate. Continue until all of the batter is used.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, and add the spinach. Blanch for 20 seconds, and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and squeeze dry. Chop and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the crêpes in a dry skillet over medium heat (or use the skillet you used to fry your eggs). Top with a spoonful of spinach, and top the spinach with the egg, setting the egg to one side so you can fold the crêpe over. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, fold the crêpe over, and transfer to a plate with a spatula. Serve hot.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES
These savory buckwheat crepes go well with any sort of condiments. I like to put some cheese in a line across the center and fold both sides in to look like a wrap.

Steps:
- Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in milk and whisk to combine. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 1/2 tablespoons buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour, whisking to combine. Don't be afraid if the mixture looks too watery; it works well. Stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bottom with a little oil and pour in 1 ladle of batter in a swirl, so it spreads evenly into a thin layer. Cook until bubbles form and crepe is browned on the bottom, 1 to 3 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes, adding more oil as needed.

5/5 (4)Published Jul 23, 2021Category Recipe Roundup
- Carbonnade Flamande. Basically, your brain (and belly) will be blown away by this bountiful Belgian beef and beer stew. Carbonnade flamande is incredible, and if you’ve never had it, its rich, robust flavor and tender chunks of the roast will blow you away.
- Belgian Fries. If you’ve ever had Belgian fries, you’ve probably wondered how the chefs get them so insanely crispy. Their secret: They fry them twice.
- Moules Frites. Moules frites are like the Belgian version of fish ‘n chips; only the recipe calls for mussels instead of fish. The mussels have the perfect combination of umami flavor and a natural herby, earthy goodness.
- Chicken Waterzooi. This creamy, comforting soup is packed with veggies and thickened with butter, heavy cream, and cornstarch. It’s incredibly filling for such a simple dish, particularly if you pair it with a thick slice of dense, dark bread.
- Oliebollen. These may look like hush puppies covered in sugar, but they aren’t. They’re something much sweeter and, in my opinion, much more delicious!
- Boulets Liegeois. Boulets liegeois are thick, juicy, and tender meatballs. The savory apple and onion gravy makes them even better. Traditionally, you’ll serve these with crispy Belgian fries, but they’re so scrumptious, you can eat them by themselves and not feel like you’re missing anything.
- Curry Ketchup. Ketchup is a pretty commonplace condiment, but curry ketchup is a bit rarer. It has a unique flavor similar to ketchup, though not quite as sweet, and similar to curry powder, but with a little extra something.
- Belgian Endive and Apple Salad. You can whip up this crunchy, nutty, sweet, and tangy salad in 15 minutes with almost no trouble whatsoever. Not only is the salad tasty and full of great, contrasting textures, but it’s also lovely.
- Braised Rabbit with Prunes. Although rabbit isn’t hugely popular in the U.S., Belgian chefs frequently use it in their dishes. It tastes similar to chicken but has an earthier, more delicate flavor.
- Chicken and Mushroom Vol au Vent. These tasty, tiny morsels are one of my favorites from this list of recipes. The base is a neatly layered stack of puff pastry dough, and each layer is light, crispy, and perfect.
