French Pancakes Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
• Add milk and eggs.
• Mix well until smooth.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium/high until pan is hot (you may not need oil if you have a nonstick pan).
• Pour about 1/4 of the mixture in the pan and turn off heat.
• Cook until dry and then flip. Remove immediately and place on plate or serving dish.
• Repeat.

Steps:

• Melt shortening over medium heat in a large non-stick cooking pan or crepe pan.
• While shortening melts, combine and whisk other ingredients. Make sure no lumps remain.
• Add melted shortening and mix well.
• Pour just enough to coat bottom of pan. Thin is good with crepes. Tip the pan to fully coat the pan with a thin layer of batter.
• Flip when the crepe slides easily around the pan and has a golden color.
• Place on plate, add strawberries and roll crepe.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, vigorously beat the egg yolk with the cream, melted butter and milk. Add cream mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to obtain a smooth batter. Add any optional ingredients (see variations above) at this stage, whisking to combine.
• Let stand for 1 hour at room temperature. (Meanwhile, let egg whites come to room temperature).
• Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and gently fold into the batter.
• Heat frying pan or griddle to medium heat. Add butter or shortening (I use Crisco butter flavor shortening) to coat well.
• Spoon equal amounts of batter onto griddle and cook until bubbles come to surface and edges look almost done.
• Flip and cook for a few seconds more, until golden.
• SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with softened butter and warmed maple syrup, flavored syrup infusions, lavender honey, lemon wedges, fresh berries, and/or a dusting of powdered sugar. Or (my favorite!), fill pancakes with a mixture of 1 3/4 cups finely chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons rose water, then roll up crepe style--delicious! Or, make pancakes small and top each with a dollop of creme fraiche and a teaspoonful of rose petal jam.
• Garnish with rose petals, orange blossoms, or fresh lavender flowers.
• TIPS:Make sure the frying pan is well greased when making pancakes. Wipe around the pan with a small wad of paper towel soaked in fat (I use butter flavored Crisco) between making each pancake.

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk together with an electric mixer. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; stir in melted butter.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, water and vanilla; cover and process until well blended. Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture. Cover and process until smooth., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack., Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. If desired, spread preserves over crepes; roll up. Sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar if desired.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a blender, cover and process or mix until smooth.
• Heat a small frying pan, brush with butter and pour in enough batter to cover the bottom.
• tip pan in order to spread batter thin and evenly.
• Brown on one side.
• When top is set, turn pancake.
• Keep in warm oven before serving.
