CORN AND CHEESE-STUFFED CREPES WITH POBLANO CREAM

Steps:

• Grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish with butter. Set aside.
• For the crepe batter: Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes to allow any bubbles to settle.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the poblano chiles and cook for 1 minute to blend flavors. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced and the cream coats back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Cool mixture slightly then transfer to blender and process until smooth. Season the poblano sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Return the sauce to the same skillet and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Heat a 10-inch-diameter non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with oil (or spray with non-stick cooking spray). Add scant 1/4 cupful batter to the skillet; tilt to coat the bottom of the pan with an even layer of batter. Cook for about 30 to 45 seconds until golden on the bottom, adjusting the heat, as necessary, to prevent burning, Using a spatula, turn the crepe over and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Stuff each crepe with 1/4 cup of grated cheese and transfer to the prepared backing dish, fitting them snugly into dish. Cove the pan with foil and bake until cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

SIMPLE DELICIOUS CREPES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a glass dish in the microwave and let cool. You don't want it to curdle the eggs.
• Use a blender to make this easier.
• Toss in the four eggs and swirl a few times to lightly beat them.
• Add vanilla, butter (no margarine, it compromises the flavor) and milk and whirl a few times.
• Sift together salt and flour, and add to eggs and milk along with brown sugar.
• If you'd like, pour batter into a bowl and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour (or up to two days if you're not making them right away). This allows the batter to settle and removes the bubbles. I use this time to prep the fruit filling.
• Heat a crepe pan (I prefer the small ones so we can have more than one kind of crepe) over med heat.
• Spray with Pam or swirl a VERY small amount of butter in the pan. Heat pan. Add about 2 Tbs (I use a small ladle) of batter and swirl to coat the pan until it stops swirling. Put over heat and cook until the edges start to brown slightly. You can turn them if you'd like, or simply turn out onto a plate.
• Can be kept up to a week in the fridge or two months in the freezer. They freeze very well!
• You could omit the vanilla and sugar and make savory crepes.

SAVORY BEEF FILLING FOR CREPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Toss in potato, carrots, and green onions, then pour in milk. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
• Mix 1/2 cup water with bouillon granules. Mix remaining water with flour, whisking until well combined. Add both mixtures to the saucepan and stir to combine. Stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro, and rosemary. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
• Add broccoli and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until all vegetables and beef are tender, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Serve sauce inside or on top of crepes.

HOT MEXICAN BEAN CREPES

Steps:

• Combine flour, milk, water, eggs, and melted butter in a large bowl; beat with a wire whisk until crepe batter is free of lumps.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet; cook until bubbles form on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook crepe for 1 minute on the second side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining crepe batter.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pour pinto beans into a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mash into a fine puree using a potato masher.
