Gingerbread Crepes With Cranberry Compote Recipe By Tasty Recipes

CREPES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a blender, add all the crepe ingredients. Blend till smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• While the batter rests, start the compote. In a saucepan, add the blueberries on medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and water. Stir and cook until hot and bubbly. Then, reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally until set.
• To make the crepes, lightly brush a nonstick pan with butter and on medium heat, add ¼ of the batter. Quickly lift the pan and swirl to the edges, making a circle.
• Cook for about 40 seconds, until the middle begins to bubble and edges begin to brown. Once set slightly, flip over and cook the other side for 40-45 seconds.
• To fill, spread some cream on one end, top with a few spoons of the berry compote, and, if desired, top with additional whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
• Serve.

STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
• In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
• In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
• Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.
