Simple Delicious Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, puree flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 1 day; stir for a few seconds before using.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with butter. Quickly pour 1/4 cup batter into center of skillet, tilting and swirling pan until batter evenly coats bottom. Cook until crepe is golden in places on bottom and edges begin to lift from pan, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Lift one edge of crepe with an offset spatula, then use your fingers to gently flip crepe. Cook on second side until just set and golden in places on bottom, about 45 seconds. Slide crepe onto a paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat with remaining batter, coating pan with more butter as needed, and stacking crepes directly on top of one another. Let cool to room temperature before using, wrapping in plastic wrap and refrigerating up to 5 days, or freezing up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture, whisking to combine. Whisk in butter. Strain mixture into a medium bowl, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; add more milk if needed.
• Heat an 8- or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, and brush with butter. Ladle or pour 3 tablespoons batter (for small crepes) or 1/3 cup batter (for large crepes) into pan, turning and tilting skillet to coat bottom evenly with batter. Cook until top of crepe appears set, bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, and center is lifted by pockets of air, about 1 minute.
• Run a spatula around edge of crepe to loosen. Slip spatula under crepe, and gently flip in one swift gesture. (If it doesn't land quite right, that's okay; use the spatula to unfold or rearrange it.) Cook until bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate, and cover. (The first one will not be your finest.) Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan lightly with butter as needed (every 2 or 3 crepes). Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine flour, milk, eggs, and oil.
• Add salt.
• Heat a lightly greased 6 inch skillet; remove from heat.
• Spoon in 2 Tbsp batter; lift and tilt skillet to spread evenly.
• Return to heat; brown on one side only.
• To remove, invert pan over paper toweling.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Fill with your favorite filling.
• Here's a few we like: Any flavor fruit jam, sweetened fresh peaches, cream cheese and pineapple, ham and maple syrup.
• Endless ideas.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine milk and eggs, blend until foamy, approx 20 seconds or so. Turn off.
• Add sugar and salt, blend for a few seconds turn off.
• Add melted butter and vanilla, blend a few seconds turn off.
• Add flour, blend until all mixed.
• Okay now for cooking them, this is what I did --
• I had a small tefal frying pan, (measured 6-1/2 on bottom, 9-1/2 or so across top) I sprayed it with non-stick Butter Flavor cooking spray. Heat it on medium-high heat.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup and dump crepe mixture into pan, swirl around real quick to coat bottom of pan.
• I used a silicon spatula to lift edges of crepe and to form round if any stray edges -- it will start to bubble, not much, but its safe to flip when you see edges on underside becoming brown. Just flip with plastic spatula.
• So once first side cooked, flip and cook about 2 minutes or so, transfer to plate and continue with rest of batter.
• *** Each crepe I made, I sprayed pan with butter cooking spray. So when I took crepe out, i sprayed bottom of pan before putting next cup of batter, do each time.
• Serve with powdered sugar, jam, fruits any filling of your choice!
• *** For chocolate crepes, add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to blender when adding in vanilla.
• *** For saltier crepes to make with meat or veggies, omit sugar and vanilla.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a glass dish in the microwave and let cool. You don't want it to curdle the eggs.
• Use a blender to make this easier.
• Toss in the four eggs and swirl a few times to lightly beat them.
• Add vanilla, butter (no margarine, it compromises the flavor) and milk and whirl a few times.
• Sift together salt and flour, and add to eggs and milk along with brown sugar.
• If you'd like, pour batter into a bowl and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour (or up to two days if you're not making them right away). This allows the batter to settle and removes the bubbles. I use this time to prep the fruit filling.
• Heat a crepe pan (I prefer the small ones so we can have more than one kind of crepe) over med heat.
• Spray with Pam or swirl a VERY small amount of butter in the pan. Heat pan. Add about 2 Tbs (I use a small ladle) of batter and swirl to coat the pan until it stops swirling. Put over heat and cook until the edges start to brown slightly. You can turn them if you'd like, or simply turn out onto a plate.
• Can be kept up to a week in the fridge or two months in the freezer. They freeze very well!
• You could omit the vanilla and sugar and make savory crepes.
