Crepe Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
• Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
• Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
• For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

Steps:

• Crepes: Combine eggs, milk, and sugar. Add the flour and whisk well. Refrigerate for one hour. Rub a skillet with butter. Add enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan. Swirl pan to coat evenly. Turn crepe and cook until lightly golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Custard: Put the milk, cream, and vanilla bean into the saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Add the sugar to the yolks and whip well. Pour the hot milk onto the beaten yolks and cook until the mixture reaches 185 degrees F. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate the custard until ready to serve.
• Spread cut fresh fruit over each crepe and sprinkle with maple syrup. Fold the crepe. Cover the plate with some custard and put one or two pancakes on it. Garnish with fresh fruit.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the remaining ingredients; mix 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. Stack the finished crepes by putting wax paper between each one. Keep covered with a dry cloth until ready to eat.

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:

• Place flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
• Pour the eggs into the center, then beat with a wire whisk. Mix well.
• Add the milk very gradually, and blend completely.
• Add the butter, salt, vanilla and sugar and mix until thoroughly incorporated. The batter will be thin.
• Set aside and let it sit for 30 minutes.
• Heat a flat non-stick pan over medium or medium/high.
• Ladle 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the pan, or pour from a measuring cup.
• Cook each crepe 1-2 minutes per side.
• When the crepes are done, roll them up, and place on serving plate.
• In a small saucepan, mix the water, 2 tsp sugar, and marmalade together. Heat over low heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the liquid until it becomes a thin syrup.
• Drizzle the crepes with syrup and garnish with orange slices.
• In another small saucepan, heat the orange liqueur until small bubbles form (do not boil), then carefully light with a long match. Caution: keep face away from the pan. Carefully pour liqueur over the crepes before the flames die out.

Steps:

• Make crêpe batter:
• Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, shortening, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth (batter will be thick). Chill, covered, 30 minutes.
• Make syrup:
• Heat butter (not melted) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Add cider and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved, then briskly simmer until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook crêpes:
• Lightly brush an 8-inch well-seasoned crêpe pan or nonstick skillet with some melted butter, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Remove skillet from heat and pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook crêpe until set and golden brown underneath, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips and cook until just set, about 15 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make 7 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with more butter before each one and transferring them as cooked to plate and stacking them.
• Reheat syrup over moderate heat. Fold each crêpe into quarters, then, using tongs, dip each briefly in syrup to coat and transfer to a platter. Cover crêpes with foil to keep warm.
• Serve crêpes with remaining syrup on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Put the blackberries, sugar, and 1 ounce of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the mixture has reached a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
• 3. Whisk the beaten eggs and milk together and pour them into the flour mixture.
• 4. Whisk in the melted butter, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
• 5. Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt the pat of butter, then pour in enough batter to cover the surface of the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
• 6. Fold the crepe in half, pour syrup over, and serve.

Steps:

• Place the brown sugar on your plate next to your crepes. Drip the coffee onto the sugar and stir with your fork. Dip your crepes in the mixture.
