I first made crepes back in College with a fellow roomie who loves cooking as much as I do! They were AMAZING! BUT I didn’t write down the recipe and I couldn’t find a recipe that I liked as much after that… until now!
These are SWEET crepes, more dessert than meal, but we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying them for our back to school/11 month birthday dinner last week! And I’ll be having these for my own birthday breakfast (next week…)
3 C milk
6 eggs
4 Tbsp butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 C flour
4 Tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
Put everything into a blender and mix until smooth. Refrigerate the batter for an hour to let the bubbles settle and the batter with thicken a bit.
heat a large flat skillet on med high and once it’s hot pout 3-4 Tbsp of batter, QUICKLY tilt the pan in a circle to cover the bottom. I cook it for about 40 seconds on each side. Use a spatula to loosen the edge and flip the crepe. It depends on how hot your pan is. I LIKE it cooking fast, I can get through the batch faster that way…
serve right away, or let the crepes cool, stack, refrigerate and serve the next day!
1 C buttermilk
1 C butter
2 C sugar
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Combine the buttermilk, butter, sugar and syrup in a LARGE sauce pan. bring the mixture to a boil on medium heat and boil for 5 mins, stirring constantly. Remove it from the heat and continue stirring and add the vanilla and baking soda.
IMPORTANT- when you add the baking soda the mixture will foam to the top of the pot, continue stirring until the mixture calms down! Allow it to sit for a few minutes before serving! It will end up being a lovely buttery color!
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 C powdered sugar
2/3 C sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
Beat the cream cheese then add everything else and blend! Keep extra refrigerated and it will last a few more days!
I like to layer the filling and berries, roll it up, top with the buttermilk syrup and fresh whipped cream (I love my whipped cream charger and use it year round on treats, and in my hot chocolate!)
So I LOVE sweet crepes, anyone have a savory one they love I can try?
