THE BEST CREPES
Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

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 medium bowl, cream together the butter and 2/3 cup of flour. Divide into 2 equal parts, and roll each half between 2 pieces of waxed paper into a 6 x12 inch sheet. Refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry yeast and 3 cups of the remaining flour. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and salt. Heat to 115 degrees F (43 degrees C), or just warm, but not hot to the touch. Mix the warm milk mixture into the flour and yeast along with the eggs, and lemon and almond extracts. Stir for 3 minutes. Knead in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is firm and pliable. Set aside to rest until double in size.
- Cut the dough in half, and roll each half out to a 14 inch square. Place one sheet of the cold butter onto each piece of dough, and fold the dough over it like the cover of a book. Seal edges by pressing with fingers. Roll each piece out to a 20x 12 inch rectangle, then fold into thirds by folding the long sides in over the center. Repeat rolling into a large rectangle, and folding into thirds. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from the refrigerator one at a time, and roll and fold each piece two more times. Return to the refrigerator to chill again before shaping. If the butter gets too warm, the dough will become difficult to manage.
- To make danishes, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. The dough can be cut into squares, with a filling placed in the center. Fold 2 of the corners over the center to form a filled diamond shape. Or, fold the piece in half, cut into 1 inch strips, stretch, twist and roll into a spiral. Place a dollop of preserves or other filling in the center. Place danishes on an ungreased baking sheet, and let rise until doubled. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Danishes can be brushed with egg white for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

DANISH PANCAKES
I came to North America from Denmark decades ago, and my mother used to make these pancakes for me and my siblings while growing up. Today, my children and grandchildren love these, so I often have to double the recipe.-Lise Thomson, Magrath, Alberta

Steps:
- First I helped my Dad collect all the ingredients because he said I was his sous chef.
- Then it is time to crack the 2 eggs into the small bowl, which he taught me how to do about 2 months ago.
- Now, for a little taste in the eggs you add a pinch of salt or ⅛ teaspoon of salt with the measuring spoon. Then I mixed, with a whisk, the salt and the eggs to make it fully yellow.
- Next, my favorite part is to add the flour but it you add too much it tastes not good at all. So to put the exact amount of flour in all you do is just get a regular scoop of flour. Then you get a dinner knife, turn it over so instead of the sharp part being down, it is up and you just move it a cross the measuring cup to even out the flour.
- Next, I added a bit of flour, then mixed it in with the egg and salt. Then do it again and again until there is no more flour. It will be pretty lumpy at first but it is fine.
- Now it is time to get rid of the lumps, so that is where the milk comes in. You do the same thing you did with the flour, you start with a little bit of milk and mix it in, then you add some more and mix it in, and more over and over again until the milk is gone.It should be pretty smooth, without any bumps.
- If you don't have time to make the batter in the morning, make some the night before then put some saran wrap over the bowl and refrigerate it. You can also make the actual crepes but they taste a lot better fresh.
- Now get the small 8-inch pan and put it on the stove and put the stove on medium heat (all stoves have low, medium, and high). Now to tell that the pan is ready, flick a tiny bit of water and if it evaporates right away it is ready.
- Put only enough batter to fill the pan because too much batter makes them thick and it doesn't work, but too little makes it rip. So just enough. The batter will start turning golden brown really quickly so don't walk away! The first time you flip it, it will tear or fold over and it will be a mess but keep trying and it will get a lot better.
- Keep it in the pan for another 10 - 20 seconds then put it on a plate, put some jam or fruit inside, roll it up, put sugar on top and eat it. Yum! My favorite is strawberries with chocolate sauce. Make another and serve to someone and see how they like it and keep making them again and again! By the way this recipe can be doubled or tripled and it would work!

Steps:
- In a bowl big enough to hold all the above ingredients with room to whisk, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Add this mixture into the flour mixture until blended together. Don't worry if the batter looks lumpy.
- Using a hand held electric mixer, beat the egg whites on the highest speed until they become stiff but you do not want dry peaks to form. This should take about 3 minutes. Then fold the egg whites back into the flour mixture.
- Getting the Pan Ready for cooking
- Put the pan over medium heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of butter to each well in the pan and heat until the butter begins to bubble. Add 1 tablespoon of batter to each well of the pan, then 1 teaspoon of filling and top with 1 tablespoon more of batter.
- You cook until the bottoms of the round pancakes are golden brown and a little crispy. This should take about 4 minutes. Using a coupe of wooden skewers, flip the pancakes over and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Remove the 7 Aebleskiver and repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter is cooked. Serve with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
- If you don't want to add filling, that's fine. Just serve them with jam or syrup on the side.
DANISH PANCAKES / CREPES
These pancakes are served as a dessert in Denmark and the traditional filling is jam and sugar; but you can really add anything to your liking. We also eat them for breakfast. They freeze well for up to 3 months, I place parchment paper between the pancakes and you can easily remove them from the bag even when frozen

Steps:
- Add all ingredients (except oil) to a bowl and mix well until all clumps are gone.
- Let sit for 20 minutes (this step can be omitted if you are short of time).
- Add a bit of oil to a non-stick skillet and heat until medium warm.
- Tilt the pan approx 90 degrees and pour batter from the top. The batter wil run down and fill the pan. You can also pour the batter in the middle of the pan and quickly make cirkeling motions to distribute the batter all over the pan. The goal is to have as thin a batter layer as possible.
- Cook until the pancake is a bit stiff and flip over, cook for another 1 minute The pancake should be light brown on both sides.
- Remove and repeat.

Steps:
- Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into a medium-size bowl and make a well in the middle. Mix the milk and 100ml of water together. Break the eggs into the well and start whisking slowly. Add the milk and water in a steady stream, whisking constantly and gradually incorporating the flour as you do so.
- Whisk until the batter is smooth and all the flour has been incorporated. Set the batter aside to rest for 30 mins, then whisk the melted butter into the batter.
- Heat the pan over a medium heat. Very lightly grease the pan with melted butter. Using a ladle, pour roughly 2 tbsp of batter into the pan and swirl it around so the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. You want to use just enough batter to make a delicate, lacy pancake. Cook the pancake for about 45 secs on one side until golden and then using a palette knife or fish slice, flip the pancake over and cook the other side for about 30 secs until it freckles.
- Slide the pancake out of the pan and either serve immediately or stack on a plate with baking parchment in between. Continue until all the batter is used up.
