Jam And Cream Filled Crepes Recipes

EASY CREPES WITH JAM OR FRUIT PRESERVES

Steps:

• Make the crepes from scratch using detailed, step-by-step instructions for my homemade crepes. If you are gluten free, use my recipe for gluten free crepes.
• Add 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry or raspberry jam/preserves on top of the open crepe, fold the crepe in half, then fold it one more time to form a triangle. That's it!

CREPES WITH PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 cube of butter in the pan. Add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute, until set and slightly browned. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter and butter, stacking the crepes on top of each other on a plate as they are ready. You should have 8 or 9 crepes total. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to each crepe and, using the back of a spoon, spread evenly over the crepes, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spread 2 teaspoons of jam over the peanut butter. Line 5 to 6 blueberries along the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe in half over the blueberries. Fold the two ends inward and continue to roll into a tube shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut each crepe in half horizontally and arrange on a platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

JAM AND CREAM FILLED CREPES

• Spray small heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat on medium heat. Pour about 3 Tbsp. batter into skillet; tilt skillet to evenly coat bottom of skillet with batter. Cook 1 min. or until bottom of crêpe is golden brown.
• Loosen crêpe from side of pan with rubber spatula, then invert skillet onto paper towel to remove crêpe. Repeat with remaining batter to make 11 additional crêpes. Stack crêpes between sheets of wax paper until ready to serve.
• Place 1 crêpe, browned side down, on each dessert plate. Spread with 1 Tbsp. COOL WHIP and 2 tsp. jam. Fold in half twice. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

RASPBERRY FILLED CREPES

Steps:

• Fresh raspberries and vanilla sugar, recipe follows
• For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Preheat a 10-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 cube of butter to the pan. When the butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute until set and slightly browned. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter. In a small bowl, mix together the jam and vanilla extract. Using a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon, spoon 2 teaspoons of the jam mixture into the center of each crepe. Using the back of the spoon, spread the jam evenly over the crepes leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at the nearest edge, roll the crepes into tube shapes. Arrange the crepes on the prepared baking sheet and place in a warm oven, for up to 20 minutes, until ready to serve.
• For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
• Transfer the crepes to a serving platter and sprinkle with vanilla sugar. Serve with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
• Vanilla Sugar:
• Add the sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Using a paring knife, slice the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the sugar. Pulse 10 to 15 times until the vanilla and sugar are combined. Cut the empty vanilla pod into 1-inch pieces and add to a glass mason jar. Add the vanilla sugar to the jar and seal. Shake the jar before using.

JAM-FILLED CREPES

Steps:

• Blend milk, eggs, flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and salt in a blender, scraping down side once or twice, until batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Let batter stand at room temperature 1 hour (this prevents tough crêpes). Stir together jam and brandy in a small bowl.
• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to skillet and brush to coat bottom. Heat over moderate heat until hot, about 30 seconds, then pour 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting to coat bottom evenly. Cook until underside is pale golden, 11/2 to 2 minutes, then jerk skillet to loosen crêpe and flip crêpe with a spatula. Cook until underside is pale golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer crêpe with spatula to a work surface, turning over so that side cooked first is facedown. Spread crêpe all over with 1 tablespoon jam and roll up jelly-roll style. Transfer to a heatproof platter and keep warm in oven. Make 7 more crêpes in same manner, transferring to oven (rolled crêpes can be arranged side by side or stacked like logs). Dust generously with vanilla sugar.
