Thai Egg Crepes Recipes

BANH XEO (VIETNAMESE CREPES)

Steps:

• Mix rice flour, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and turmeric together in a large bowl. Beat in coconut milk to make a thick batter. Slowly beat in water until batter is the consistency of a thin crepe batter.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant but not browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp; saute until cooked through and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with fish sauce and salt. Transfer filling to a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Wipe out skillet and reheat over medium heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon oil. Stir crepe batter and pour 1/2 cup into the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Lay 3 or 4 of the cooked shrimp on the bottom half of the crepe. Top with a small handful of bean sprouts. Cook until batter looks set and edges start to brown, about 1 minute. Fold crepe over and slide onto an oven-safe plate.
• Place crepe in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter and filling.
• Serve lettuce leaves alongside filled crepes. Break off pieces of crepe and roll up in lettuce leaves to eat.

THAI EGG CREPES

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a bowl. Add ginger, eggs, milk, sesame oil and salt, whisk well.
• Heat a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Dab paper towel in remaining melted butter and coat pan.
• Ladle a thin layer of crepe batter in pan, coating bottom evenly. Once batter begins to bubble in the middle, flip crepe and cook for 3-5 seconds on other side.
• Remove from pan and lay on a dry kitchen towel.
• Repeat process with remaining crepe 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.

SCRAMBLED EGG-FILLED CREPES

Steps:

• Sift flour into a large jug. Combine milk, eggs and oil in a second jug. Gradually whisk egg mixture into flour until smooth. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Heat a lightly oiled 19cm crepe pan (or frying pan) on high. Pour ¼ cup measures of crepe mixture into pan, tilting pan to cover base with batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Flip crepe and cook other side for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining crepe mixture.
• SCRAMBLED EGGS. In a bowl whisk together eggs and milk. Season to taste. Melt butter in a frying pan on medium. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes until egg starts to set. Stir through bacon, spinach and chives.
• Fill crepes with mixture, and roll. Serve with roasted tomatoes.
