CLASSIC CREPES
This recipe can be used as the basis for any crepe creation. The buckwheat variation has a slightly heartier texture and a more robust flavor. It's best paired with savory fillings. See our Basic Crepe How-To for more photos.

Steps:
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture, whisking to combine. Whisk in butter. Strain mixture into a medium bowl, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; add more milk if needed.
- Heat an 8- or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, and brush with butter. Ladle or pour 3 tablespoons batter (for small crepes) or 1/3 cup batter (for large crepes) into pan, turning and tilting skillet to coat bottom evenly with batter. Cook until top of crepe appears set, bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, and center is lifted by pockets of air, about 1 minute.
- Run a spatula around edge of crepe to loosen. Slip spatula under crepe, and gently flip in one swift gesture. (If it doesn't land quite right, that's okay; use the spatula to unfold or rearrange it.) Cook until bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate, and cover. (The first one will not be your finest.) Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan lightly with butter as needed (every 2 or 3 crepes). Serve immediately.
BASIC CREPES
This is my favorite simple crepe recipe. It's best to make the batter at least 30 minutes ahead so the flour can absorb all the moisture before you start cooking the crepes. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

VANILLA CREPES
When I was a little girl, my mother would always make us crepes on Sundays. I also loved the smell of vanilla when my mother would make her cookies. So, I would always ask her to make her cookies, and when she refused, I would take out the vanilla and sit it next to me with the cap open, so that I could breathe the aroma. My mother get a kick out of this, and said, well, if it's that important, we'll add a little vanilla kick, just for you. After the first time she put the vanilla in, there was never a last...it became a tradition.

Steps:
- Melt the Butter and set aside to cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Plain Flour, Caster Sugar and Salt. Create a well in the middle of the bowl.
- Mix the melted Butter and Milk (see note 1), then pour about 2/3 of the batter into the well. Mix well with a whisk until you get a thick batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Eggs (see note 2), then add it to the Batter. Whisk until combined and smooth - you should not have big lumps anymore.
- Add the rest of the Butter/Milk Liquid and whisk well until all combined. You should have a rather liquid batter (see note 3). Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to rest for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours (see note 4).
- Heat up a Non-Stick Skillet or Crepe Pan on medium/high heat and grease it with a little bit of butter.
- Pour some batter over the Pan: - if using a regular pan, hold the pan on an angle while pouring the batter and continuously turn the pan around in a rotating movement to spread the batter- if using a crepe pan, use the crepe spreader to spread the batter, doing one circular movement from the centre of the pan
- Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe start to lift up. Use a wooden spatula to go under the crepe and flip it over. Cook the other side for about 1 minute.
- Place the cooked crepe on a plate and repeat until you have cooked all the batter. Adjust the temperature of the stove if needed, and re-grease the pan between each crepe if they seem to stick to it.

Steps:
- In a blender, combine the milk, water, eggs and vanilla extract. Pulse to combine. Add in the flour, sugar and salt and pour the butter on top. Pulse again until all of the ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth. Cover the batter and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- While the batter is sitting, make the filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks have formed. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth, then slowly add in the powdered sugar until combined. Beat in the extracts. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the mixture and stir with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining cream and fold it in gently. Refrigerate the mixture until needed.
- To make the crepes, very lightly butter a small skillet (I use an 8-inch nonstick skillet) and place over medium low heat. Once hot, add about 1/4 cup of batter to the skillet and using your wrist, tilt the pan around to spread the batter, forming an even, thin crepe. Let the batter cook for a minute or two, then loosen the sides with a rubber spatula and flip the crepe over. Cook the second side for another minute or two, then remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, only buttering the pan if the batter starts to stick. (I usually only butter it once in the beginning - sometimes I need to again halfway through, but not usually.)
- To make the peaches, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the sugar and stir to combine, then add in the peaches. Cook until the peaches start to get soft and give up some of their juices and a syrupy sauce is created, a few minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the almond extract.
- To serve, spread some of the cream over a crepe, then fold in half twice. Top with the peaches. I like this best when the peaches are warm, but it's also good when the peaches are cold.

Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
- To serve, fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling, roll up and top with a small dollop of the cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the eggs and milk in a blender. Add the flour and salt and mix on high speed until smooth. 2. Separately, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Push the flour aside to make well in the center. Break the eggs into the center and pour in 3/4 cup of the milk. Whisk in a small circle in the middle the well blend the eggs and the milk. Whisking constantly, gradually draw in the flour until you have a thick mixture. Add 3/4 cup milk. Whisk until the mixture forms a smooth batter. 3. Strain the batter (to remove any lumps) into a quart size measuring cup with a spout or a pitcher. Let the batter rest at room tempature for 30 minutes. 4. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, using a pastry brush to add a butter coating to the crepe maker cooking plate before dipping & cooking. 5. After dipping, cook 2-5 minutes depending upon preference. Transfer the crepe to a cooling rack. Proceed with the remaining batter. Once cool, stack the crepes between sheets of waxed paper. Create Your Own Fillings: The beauty of crepes is that they welcome many kinds of fillings. Try them hot off the griddle brushed with some soft sweet butter and jam, make up your own fillings, or try some of these suggestions. Savory Fillings: Fill with sauteed spinach, mushrooms, or asparagus, simmered in cream until thickened. Fill with hunks of cooked crabmeat and ripe avacado. Line with a slice of ham, sprinkle with grated cheese, fold into a triangle, and heat until the cheese melts. Fill with leftover ratatouille, roll, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and bake until warm. Spread with cream cheese mixed with dill and chives. Layer some thinly sliced smoked salmon. Roll and cut into slices for hors d'oeuvres. Sweet Fillings: Spread with sweetened cream cheese or ricotta cheese mixed with lemon zest. Fill with chocolate ganache or chocolate mousse and serve with a creme anglaise. Fill with chopped fresh pineapple and bake in a butter-rum sauce. Stuff with pears, peaches, or ripe fresh berries that have been cooked with a little sugar. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Spread with butter and orange marmalade, flash under the broiler, and dust with confectioner's sugar for mock crepes Suzette.
