Perfect French Crepes Recipes

REAL FRENCH CREPES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, egg, and milk.
• Heat a large skillet or crepe pan over a medium-high heat. Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, lift the pan and turn it by rotating your wrist, spreading a PAPER THIN amount in the pan. Flip the crepe when it starts to bubble. When it is finished cooking, remove it and repeat this process with the remaining batter.

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.

PERFECT FRENCH CREPES

Steps:

• Have your ingredients at room temperature before starting. Mix together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• In a blender combine eggs, milk, 2 Tablespoon melted butter and flour mixture. Blend until smooth scraping the side of the blender a few times. Pour into that bowl you used for the flour and set aside.
• Leave the mixture to rest for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Heat your pan to Medium High. Add oil and wipe it off with paper towel; set it on a plate and use this to wipe your pan after making each crepes.
• Pour some batter into the hot pan and tilt the pan so that the batter spreads out evenly. Cook for a minute tilting the pan in all directions to cover bottom of pan. I used 3 Tablespoons of batter for my 9 inches pan. This works well with a 1/4 measuring cup.
• When the edges start to curl, use a spatula to flip crêpes and cook another minutes. Slide crepe on a rack; cool. Stack on a plate separating them with a piece of wax paper. You can refrigerate them for 3 days before serving. (Can be frozen at this stage, wrapped tightly for up to 3 months).
