Clean Whole Wheat Crepes Recipes

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Prep a crepe pan by brushing it with butter or coconut oil.
• In a blender (I use my 1964 Vitamix) mix all wet ingredients together.
• Add flour and mix until blended. Batter will be thin. It thickens upon standing, but if you use the "swirl" method described below it doesn't matter if it's thin. You CAN add another tsp-tbs flour, but you want that eggy consistency to stand out.
• If you have time, let the batter sit, covered, and go out for a run.
• If not, heat up your crepe pan. You will know it's ready if a drop of water "dances" in the pan. The pan must be hot.
• Put in a bit less than a 1/4 cup batter and swirl it slowly around in the crepe pan until it's evenly coated and stops swirling.
• Cook on med-high heat for 1 minute.
• Flip with a spatula (rubber) and cook an additional 30 seconds.
• Drop onto warm plate.
• Serve with fresh berries, bananas, creme fresche, etc.
• For savory crepes just omit the vanilla and sugar.

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!
