Flopproofcrepes 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:

• In a blender combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and oil. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into pan, tilting to completely coat the surface of the pan. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.

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:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• With an electrical blender, blend until smooth.
• Melt butter in two frying pans.
• Pour batter into frying pans, so there is a thin layer of it in each frying pan.
• Flip with a spatula.
• When both sides of the crepe are golden brown, remove from pan and repeat process.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor combine the water, milk, eggs salt and flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down any batter which adheres to the sides of the processor. If the batter appears thick, add more water; if too thin, then gradually whisk in more flour. Let the batter set, in the refrigerator for an hour or so.
• Rub an 7-inch crepe pan or non-stick pan with oil or melted butter. Set over high heat until pan just begins to smoke. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot pan. Lift the pan from the heat and swirl the batter around so that it evenly coats the bottom. Pour excess back into the batter for the next crepe. Let the crepe cook on one side for about a minute or until it looks dried out. Flip the crepe over and cook it for 30 seconds on the other side. Repeat until all are done.
• To store, stack them, with waxed paper or parchment squares in between each one and freeze in batches.
• Heat butter and add flour. Cook slowly for a minute or two. Add the hot liquid and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Season to taste with salt and pepper; beat in cream. Off heat, add cheese and adjust the seasoning.
• Yield: 3 cups of sauce
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch deep pie plate and center a crepe in the bottom. Mix the spinach filling with 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce and spread some of this over the first crepe. Center a crepe on top of spinach filling and spread it with ricotta cheese and pepper filling. Top with a crepe and continue this way until you end with a crepe. Spoon cheese sauce over the top of the tower and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbling hot. You can assemble the "tower" of crepes and fillings in advance and make the sauce in advance, but spoon sauce over crepes right before baking. If you have made this in advance and it is cold you will have to bake it for 45 minutes to heat it through.

Steps:

• To make Crepes, in large bowl, beat eggs with whisk. Beat in milk. Beat in sugar and about 1/2 cup flour at a time, making sure to beat until no lumps remain and mixture thickens to a batter slightly thinner than pancake batter. (Add more milk if too thick; add more flour if too thin.)
• Heat 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil to skillet; tilt to coat bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into skillet; tilt to spread batter to edge until nearly paper thin. Cook about 2 minutes or until small bubbles begin to form on top of crepe or until edge starts to curl. Turn crepe with pancake turner; cook other side until brown spots form, about 2 minutes. Place on plate. Repeat until all batter is used.
• To make Savory Filling, in another 8-inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion; cook about 15 minutes or until caramelized. Meanwhile, heat another 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. In small bowl, beat eggs and pesto with whisk until blended. Pour into skillet; cook and stir to make scrambled eggs. Remove eggs from heat; divide evenly among 4 open crepes. Top with onion and cheese. Fold over crepes. Serve.
• To make Sweet Filling, spread about 2 tablespoons peanut butter on each of 4 open crepes. Fold crepes over; place on serving plates. Spoon hazelnut spread into decorating bag fitted with small round-holed tip (or spoon into resealable food-storage plastic bag; cut off one bottom corner of bag). Pipe in zigzag fashion over each crepe. Drizzle honey over each. Top each with whipped cream and toffee bits. Serve.
