QUICK N' EASY FRUIT CREPES

Steps:

• Spray non-stick on pan, and heat on medium heat.
• Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup.
• When pan is ready (water droplets thrown on it should sizzle), pour on crepe batter until desired size. (Swivel the pan a little to spread out the batter a bit).
• Once the edges have changed colour and firmed up, flip the crepe and leave on the other side for about 10 seconds.
• Cover with fruit topping and whipped cream.
• Fruit Topping Suggestion: Combine frozen fruit in pot with water and sugar (You can use fresh fruit too, I just happen to have a lot of frozen fruit handy.).
• Heat on medium high heat (while you are making the crepes).
• When it's heated you can either leave as is or puree it.

• 2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
• 3. Whisk the beaten eggs and milk together and pour them into the flour mixture.
• 4. Whisk in the melted butter, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
• 5. Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt the pat of butter, then pour in enough batter to cover the surface of the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
• 6. Fold the crepe in half, pour syrup over, and serve.

CREPES STUFFED WITH FRESH FRUIT, MAPLE SYRUP, AND CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Crepes: Combine eggs, milk, and sugar. Add the flour and whisk well. Refrigerate for one hour. Rub a skillet with butter. Add enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan. Swirl pan to coat evenly. Turn crepe and cook until lightly golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Custard: Put the milk, cream, and vanilla bean into the saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Add the sugar to the yolks and whip well. Pour the hot milk onto the beaten yolks and cook until the mixture reaches 185 degrees F. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate the custard until ready to serve.
• Spread cut fresh fruit over each crepe and sprinkle with maple syrup. Fold the crepe. Cover the plate with some custard and put one or two pancakes on it. Garnish with fresh fruit.

CREPES WITH CIDER SYRUP

Steps:

• Make crêpe batter:
• Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, shortening, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth (batter will be thick). Chill, covered, 30 minutes.
• Make syrup:
• Heat butter (not melted) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Add cider and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved, then briskly simmer until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook crêpes:
• Lightly brush an 8-inch well-seasoned crêpe pan or nonstick skillet with some melted butter, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Remove skillet from heat and pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook crêpe until set and golden brown underneath, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips and cook until just set, about 15 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make 7 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with more butter before each one and transferring them as cooked to plate and stacking them.
• Reheat syrup over moderate heat. Fold each crêpe into quarters, then, using tongs, dip each briefly in syrup to coat and transfer to a platter. Cover crêpes with foil to keep warm.
• Serve crêpes with remaining syrup on the side.
