ALICE'S CREPES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat milk, salt, sugar, and butter until butter has melted. Let cool to room temperature.
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center, and add oil and eggs. Beat until the batter is too stiff to beat and is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk mixture little by little, beating until smooth. Strain the batter through a fine sieve, and then whisk in beer. Chill overnight.
• Heat a crepe pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles in the pan. (The first crepe may stick a little if your pan is not heated to the proper temperature.) Rub the pan with a little butter, wiping out the excess with a paper towel. Ladle a thin layer of the batter (about 2 tablespoons) into the center of the pan, tilting and rotating the pan to cover the bottom as thinly and evenly as possible. Lightly brown the first side for 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip the crepe over, and brown the other side for about a minute. Turn out onto plastic wrap. The crepes may be covered and kept at room temperature for a few hours or refrigerated for up to two days. To reheat crepes, place in a covered baking dish, and transfer to an oven heated to 400 degrees until heated through.
• To serve, spread warm crepes with jam or butter. Drizzle lemon juice over the butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Fold into quarters, and serve immediately.

FRENCH CANADIAN CREPES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients vigorously until the crepe batter is completely smooth.
• Place the batter in the refrigerator and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Melt a little bit of the butter in a crepe pan or large skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the batter to the pan and swirl until the bottom of the pan is completely covered.
• Cook the crepe for 1 minute, or until it is slightly moist on top and golden underneath.
• Using a spatula, loosen the edges of the crepe, then slide the spatula underneath, and gently flip it, trying to have it lay flat.
• Cook for 1 more minute, until the edges are starting to crisp up, and transfer the cooked crepe to a plate to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter if the pan becomes dry.
• Fill with desired ingredients and fold or roll up .
• Serve and enjoy.

THE BEST CREPES

Steps:

• Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
• Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
• Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
• For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

CREPES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Mix flour with milk until just combined. Then, add eggs, one by one, whisking until smooth. If clumps remain, strain with a sieve.
• Add ⅓ - ½ cup of mixture to a medium-size nonstick skillet on medium-high heat.
• Once the top looks cooked and slightly dry, with a few bubbles, carefully flip, cooking the other side slowly.
• Serve with desired toppings.

BREAKFAST CREPES

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg and salt.
• Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. When the pan is hot add a teaspoon of butter and lightly coat the surface of the pan with the melted butter.
• Pour one quarter cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface in a smooth and even layer.
• After two minutes, lift up an edge of the crepe with a spatula to see if it is browning. When the underside has begun to brown, flip the crepe and cook the other side until it is also brown; about 2 minutes.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 to cook the remaining crepes. Serve hot.
