CREPES WITH MEAT FILLING - VLEESPANNEKOEKJES - DUTCH RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix crepe ingredients.
• Let stand for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Pour about 2-3 tbsp batter in 8" non-stick pan with hot butter or oil (you don't want them too thin- they'll need to be strong enough to hold the filling).
• Turn after the first side is just starting to brown.
• When the second side is just starting to brown, remove from pan.
• Set aside.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Sauté onion in butter (or broth).
• Add 1/2 cup broth, seasonings and meat.
• In a small bowl mix remaining broth and flour into a paste.
• Add to meat mixture, stir and add parsley.
• Place a few tablespoons of meat mixture on each crepe.
• You can either place it so you can roll them up, or just fold in half, or fold again into a wedge shape.
• Place on a heated plate and garnish with fresh parsley.

BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat 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. Serve hot.
