Easy Whole Grain Crepe 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:

• Note: If you want to make regular crepes, not using whole wheat flour, use 3/4 cup milk, 2 tbs cold water, and substitute 3/4 cup white flour.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until well combined-about 20 seconds.
• Sift the flour into a medium size bowl or a 2 quart measuring cup, then add the liquid mixture, beating until well combined-about 1 minute.
• Or blend the eggs, milk, butter, and salt in an electric blender or food processor for 15 seconds; sprinkle in the flour and blend until smooth-about 30 seconds.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let stand for at least 1 hour refrigerated or at room temperature. (The flour will swell to make a softer batter.) Will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 hours.
• Brush butter on the bottom of a crepe pan or heavy 7-inch skillet.
• Set over moderate heat for about 30 seconds or until a drop of batter sizzles.
• Stir the batter well, pour 2 tablespoonfuls into the skillet, and quickly tip it back and forth so that the batter evenly coats the bottom.
• Cook until the crepe edges are golden brown-about 1 minute.
• Slide a spatula under the crepe, flip it over, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Transfer to a warm plate.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, rebuttering the skillet when necessary.
• *At this point the crepes can be cooled to room temperature, separated by sheets of wax paper, and stored.
• Refrigerate, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, for up to 24 hours.
• Freeze, wrapped with aluminum foil and labeled, for up to 1 month at 0°F.
• Serve with your own favorite crepe filling or try Walnut Crepes with Mocha Sauce or Cinnamon Crepes with Caramel Sauce and Pecans.
• Enjoy!
