Crepes From Bisquick Recipe 435

BISQUICK CREPES

Steps:

• Prepare the crepe batter:.
• Beat the eggs with a hand whisk in a large bowl just until they are just mixed enough to have a uniform yellow color.
• Alternate adding the milk and the Bisquick while whisking in between to keep batter smooth without clumping.
• Melt the butter and add it while whisking.
• Chill the batter by placing it in the freezer for up to 15 minutes (while preparing filling) or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Prepare the filling:.
• In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese and the sugar.
• Beat the mixture until the sugar is absorbed.
• Add the vanilla extract.
• Beat generously at high speed for about 2 minutes. The mixture will not become fluffy, but will become easily spreadable.
• Cook the crepes:.
• Remove the crepe batter from the freezer or refrigerator and whisk it lightly to remix any ingredients that may have separated.
• Use an 8 inch pan to ensure crepe is not too large to flip in one piece. Heat the pan to about 300 - 350 degrees. Have the burner set below medium - about medium-low. Spray the pan lightly with non-stick spray before cooking each creepe.
• Use a ladle and add about 1/4 cup of batter to the center of the pan. That should be about 1/2 ladle full.
• Swirl the batter around the pan so that it spreads to the sides of the pan and ends up being spread evenly across bottom of pan.
• Cook uncovered until the top center of the crepe no longer appears wet. That should be about 1 minute.
• Use a spatula to separate the edges of the crepe from the pan. Then slip the spatula under the crepe and flip it. Cook it for about another 20 seconds then remove crepe.
• Spray the pan with non-stick spray for next crepe and cook the next crepe.
• Fill and fold the crepe:.
• Place the filling in a strip about 1 inch to 2 inches wide down the center of the crepe.
• Fold the first side to the center over the filling and then fold the second side over the first fold toward the center.
• Flip the crepe over so that its own weight holds the folds closed.

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.

STRAWBERRY-BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir all crepe ingredients until blended. Grease 6- or 7-inch skillet with shortening or cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. For each crepe, pour 2 tablespoons batter into skillet; rotate skillet until batter covers bottom. Cook until golden brown. Gently loosen edge with metal spatula; turn and cook other side until golden brown. Stack crepes as you remove them from skillet, placing waxed paper between each. Keep crepes covered to prevent them from drying out.
• In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Spoon about 3 tablespoons whipped cream down center of each crepe; top with 4 or 5 banana slices. Roll up; top each crepe with whipped cream, strawberries and walnuts.

CREPES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk, 2 tablespoons butter, the vanilla and eggs. Beat with wire whisk just until smooth.
• Lightly butter 6- to 8-inch skillet or crepe pan. Heat over medium heat until bubbly. For each crepe, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Immediately tilt and rotate skillet so thin layer of batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown. Run wide spatula around edge to loosen; turn and cook other side until light brown. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering skillet as needed.
• Stack crepes, placing waxed paper between each; keep covered. Spread applesauce, sweetened berries, jelly or jam thinly over each warm crepe; roll up. (Be sure to fill crepes so when rolled the more attractive side is on the outside.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

CREPES FROM BISQUICK RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl beat together Bisquick, milk, and eggs with a whisk until it is smooth. Heat crepe pan or 7-8 inch fry pan over medium heat until a few drops of water sprinkled on the pan sizzle and bounce. Grease pan lightly. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into a pan, tilting to spread it evenly until the batter covers the bottom. Cook until golden brown. Gently loosen edge and flip. Cook until it is set. Remove. Repeat with all the batter. Makes 6 crepes. Stack between towels or wax paper as they are cooked. Fill with filling or cool, wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days. These also freeze well. CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Put the chocolate, cream, butter, cinnamon and ginger into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has blended together. Keep warm.

NO-FAIL FRENCH CREPES

Steps:

• Heat an electric griddle to 350º, or a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Whisk the egg in large bowl. Whisk in the milk.
• Add the Bisquick and whisk until there are few lumps. The batter will be thin.
• Butter the griddle or skillet, using about 1-1/2 teaspoons of the butter.
• Cook 2 crepes at once on griddle, or one at a time in skillet by pouring the batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.
• Cook on the first side until the crepes begin to set and tiny bubbles appear on the surface, about 1 minute.
• Turn and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
• Repeat, butter the griddle/pan as needed, until all the batter is used.
• Whisk jam in small bowl until smooth.
• To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon jam over one side of each crepe. Squirt a generous amount of whip cream over the jam. Starting at that edge, gently roll up the crepe.
• Garnich each with about 1 teaspoon of jam and dollop of cream.
• You can also drizzle with chocolate syrup.
• Serve at once.

STRAWBERRY CREPES

Steps:

• Make crêpes:
• Sift flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until no lumps remain (you may use an electric mixer at slow speed). Mix in lemon rind or vanilla, cognac, and melted butter. Slowly add milk and mix until batter is consistency of thin cream. Let it stand an hour or two before making crêpes.
• Heat a crêpe pan (either 6-inch or 10-inch, according to desired size of crêpes) and rub it with butter. For each crêpe, pour a little batter into the pan, tilting about to let it run over the bottom in a fairly thin layer. When lightly browned on the bottom, turn carefully and brown other side. As each crêpe is cooked, remove it to a hot platter and keep warm. Re-butter pan as needed.
• Make filling:
• Sprinkle washed, hulled, and sliced strawberries with sugar to taste and add sherry. Let stand to mellow. Heap each crêpe with sliced strawberries, roll up and arrange in a buttered chafing dish and heat over hot water. Melt currant jelly and pour over crêpes. Add and ignite cognac. Serve with plain or whipped cream.
