Moms Rolled Pancakes Crepes Recipes

ROLLUP BLENDER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lift the skillet from the heat and ladle in about 1/4 cup batter, spinning the skillet in a circle to form a somewhat even circle about 6 or 8-inches across (it doesn't have to be perfect).
• On the heat, cook the pancake until golden, about a minute, then use a wide, flat spatula to carefully flip the pancake and cook for 30 seconds or so on the other side.
• Slide the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, spraying with cooking spray every few pancakes or so and making sure the skillet is hot before adding a new scoop of batter (although make sure it isn't so hot that the pancakes burn - adjust the temperature as needed). Stack the pancakes on top of each other as they finish cooking.
• Serve with butter, jam, powdered sugar, syrup, fruit and whipped cream - whatever your little heart desires! Spread the filling down the center and roll up to eat.

MOM'S ROLLED PANCAKES-CREPES

Steps:

• Most of the time she would make them for breakfast with butter and maple syrup. Other times she would stuff them with sour cream and jam. Then at times she would stuff them with creamed salmon or chicken for dinner. Then there were times she would stuff them with cream cheese, pudding, custard, or whipped cream with fresh or canned fruit for dessert. My brother's favorite way of eating them is to sprinkle powdered sugar and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. My youngest son's way is just to eat them plain. (He's kind of a strange kid, he hates sauces and anything syrupy. But we all as kids would just grabbed any left over ones, later in the day...and eaten them plain.
• You'll need a good skillet. I have a number 2440 skillet I especially use to make these. My mother just used her old cast iron skillet.
• Place the flour, egg and salt in a bowl. Add half the milk and mix till there are no lumps. My mother used her mixer. I just use a whisk. Once you have no lumps add the rest of the milk and beat till well incorporated. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Then add the 3 tablespoons of milk and mix in. It's going to be a thin batter.
• Heat your skillet till it's hot and add a 1 teaspoon butter. You need to hear the butter sizzle in the skillet. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom and little up the sides. Return to heat. Now add less then a 1/4 cup of batter to your pan and quickly swirl the dough to cover the bottom totally. Turn the heat down just a tad, but you still want your pan to be hot. Brown and turn..brown. Place the crepe on a plate that has been placed over a pan with simmering water to keep hot. Repeat process. You kitchen might get a little smokey..so open a window and turn on the exhaust fan. My son did take a picture on his new cell phone...so as soon as he figures out how to send the picture I will post it.

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.
