Crepe Pancakes Recipes

FRENCH PANCAKES (CREPES)

Steps:

• Mix together flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
• Add milk and eggs.
• Mix well until smooth.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium/high until pan is hot (you may not need oil if you have a nonstick pan).
• Pour about 1/4 of the mixture in the pan and turn off heat.
• Cook until dry and then flip. Remove immediately and place on plate or serving dish.
• Repeat.

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.

EASY CRêPES

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.

FLUFFY SWEDISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Blend eggs, milk, warm water, white sugar, flour, and salt together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until well combined into a smooth batter.
• Stream the melted butter into the batter while continuing to beat.
• Heat a skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Coat the cooking surface with a thin layer of butter.
• Pour a thin layer of batter onto the prepared cooking surface; swirl the pan to assure even coverage.
• Cook the crepe until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes; flip the crepe and continue cooking until the other side is browned. Serve immediately.

EASY PIZZA PANCAKES (THICK CREPE STYLE)

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt, make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and half of the milk (or all of the milk if using half water) Whisk until no lumps remain then stir in the rest of the milk (or water if using). If the mixture is too thick, add a little more liquid. Pour into a jug or have a ladle to hand.
• Prepare your toppings so that you're ready to go.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and spray a little oil over the base, your frying pan must have a lid, if not, substitute foil or another lid.
• If you are brave or in a hurry then you could use 2 or 3 frying pans at once!
• Once hot and working quickly, pour enough pancake batter over the base to cover, swirling round as you go (you want them thicker than thin crepes but thinner than american pancakes).
• When the underside is cooked and browned (you can check this by lifting up one of the sides) remove from the heat, flip over and assemble your pizza with the tomato sauce and cheese, sprinkling over black pepper and oregano as you go.
• The first pancake sometimes sticks but it helps to 'season' the pan so don't worry if this happens.
• Return to the heat and put a lid on or cover the pan. In a couple of minutes, the pancake will have cooked and the cheese should have melted.
• Serve immediatly, 1 is never enough so be prepared to allow someone else to stand over the pan once you get tired!
