Low Fat Lower Calorie And Great Tasting Crepes Recipes

HEALTHIER BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add milk and water, stirring to combine. Mix in butter and salt and beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Tilt pan with a circular motion so batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook crepe until bottom is light brown, about 2 minutes. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook other side. Serve hot with yogurt, maple syrup, and blueberries.

LOW-FAT CREPES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients mix until smooth. Use a non-stick pan (no oil needed) heat over medium-high heat.
• Spoon 3 Tablespoons crepe batter into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet to cover evenly and thinly.
• Cook until edges begin to brown. Turn crepe over and cook until lightly browned.
• Remove crepe to plate to cool. Repeat process with remaining batter.
• Spray with spray butter, lightly dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon -- and ROLL.

LOW-FAT, LOWER CALORIE AND GREAT-TASTING CREPES

Steps:

• Prepare 8-9 inch diameter saute pan by heating on low heat on stove.
• Beat eggs together with milk using whisk.
• Add vanilla extract and Splenda and continue to blend.
• Add flour in increments, blending into the mixture.
• Drizzle melted margarine into batter, continuing to blend with whisk. Set aside.
• Turn heat up to medium on saute pan, and spray lightly with cooking spray for the first crepe. If the cooking spray turns brown, the pan is too hot. The spray should remain a clear color.
• Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Pick up the pan and swirl the batter to where it forms a circle. (A circular crepe takes practice. The key is to keep the batter thin and uniform in the pan.).
• When the outside of the crepe's edges start to brown and the top of the crepe is no longer a wet appearance, flip the crepe over. Let it cook just a minute more so it's cooked through. Remove from pan onto a plate. Flip the crepe into a half, then another half, where it forms a quarter of a circle shape.
• Continue the steps above until all the batter has been used.

DESSERT CREPES

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour, sugar and salt until smooth.
• Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
