Rose Elliots Basic Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. This batter should be thinner than pancake batter.
• Lightly spray oil on a crepe or 8-inch skillet or frying pan and heat to a medium heat. Pour about 1/4-cup of batter in the center of the pan and tilt to cover bottom in an even layer.
• Cook over medium heat until lightly brown on both sides, turning only once.
• Remove and fill with your favorite mixture, then fold and roll up like a burrito. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly.
• Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
• (Batter may be covered and refrigerated up to 2 hours or cooked immediately).
• Heat crepe pan or 7 or 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat (375*F).
• A few drops of water sprinkled on the pan sizzle and bounce when heat is just right.
• Grease pan lightly.
• Pour about 3 tablespoons batter into pan, tilting pan to spread evenly.
• When crepe is light brown and set, turn to brown other side.
• Remove from pan.
• Repeat with remaining batter to make about 14 crepes; stack cooked crepes.
• Fill crepes with desired filling or cool, wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
• FOR DESSERT CREPES, add 2 tablespoons sugar to batter.
• To freeze, layer crepes with 2 sheets of waxed paper; wrap and store up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Put the flour in a bowl and beat in the eggs, oil or butter and about a third of the milk. Mix until smooth, then gradually beat in the rest of the milk. The batter should be the consistency of single cream.
• Heat a 15 cm fry pan over a low heat and brush it with a little oil or butter.
• When the pan is hot enough to sizzle if a drop of water is flicked into it, pour in 2 T of batter and tilt the pan until the base is thinly coated.
• Fry for 1-2 minutes until the top is set, then using a palette knife and your fingers, flip the crepe over and cook the other side for a few seconds. Cook the remaining crepes in the same way. Stack them up on a plate, cover them with another plate and keep them warm over a pan of steaming water.
