How to Make Crepes
How to Make Crepes
Have you ever made these before? Though it may seem complicated, making restaurant-
quality crepes at home isn’t very difficult. Today I’m walking you through the entire
process including crucial success tips, the best 8 ingredients to use.
Step 1: Ingredients/Tools
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of milk (2%, 1%, Whole) (355ml)
1 tsp. of canola or vegetable oil (or one Tbsp. of butter, melted) (5ml)
1 cup of all-purpose flour (120g)
1/4 tsp. of salt (or 3/4 tsp. for savory)(5.5g)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (for sweet) (5ml)
1 Tbsp. of granulated sugar (for sweet)(12.5g)
Tools:
Now we add our flour, salt, and if we are making sweet crepes, 1 tsp.
of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sugar. If you are making a
savory crepe, don't add the vanilla extract or the sugar, and add an
extra 1/2 tsp. of salt. Now mix it all together until nice and runny.

Step 4: Add Butter Then Crepe Batter

Turn the heat in between medium and medium-hi. Now we add a little
bit of butter to our non-stick skillet or crepe pan or optionally crepe
maker. Next we raise the pan off the heat and tilt it. I like to use a ladle
for this next part. My ladle holds about 1/4 cup of batter, pour some
batter onto the pan. Pour it in the middle of the pan and then tilt the
pan in a circle like motion, so the batter covers the whole bottom of
the pan, then just place the pan on the heat again. We will cook it for
about 1 minute or so on this side, until the top gets nice and dry.
Step 5: Flip Crepe Over
Next we flip it over after a minute or so and then cook the other side
for about 10 to 20 seconds, then flip it one more time and you will see
nice cook marks on your crepe. Now you are done and you can stack
them on a plate. They won't stick together so don't worry about that.

Ingredients
Crust:
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
cooking spray
Filling:
Garnish:
24 raspberries
24 blueberries
24 slices banana
Direction:
Combine butter and cream cheese for crust in a mixing bowl and mix until
smooth. Gradually stir in flour and salt until well blended. Wrap dough in plastic
wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
.
.
Remove dough from the refrigerator and place on a floured surface. Divide
dough evenly into 24 pieces; shape each piece into a ball.
.
.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup mini-
muffin tin with cooking spray.
.
.
While the oven is preheating, press dough onto the bottoms and up the sides of
the greased muffin cups. Place the pan on a cookie sheet and set aside.
.
.
Combine milk, cream, and salt for filling in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble around the edges of
the pan and wisps of steam are visible, about 3 minutes.
.
.
Stir sugar and egg together in a bowl. Pour 1/4 of the hot milk mixture into the
bowl and stir until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and
continue to cook and stir until mixture is bubbling and has thickened slightly,
about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Spoon about 1
tablespoon filling into each muffin cup.
.
.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees F
(175 degrees C) and continue baking until filling is set, about 15 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove
tarts from the pan and place directly on the wire rack; let cool for 20 minutes.
.
.
Place 1 teaspoon raspberry preserves on top of 8 tarts, then top each with a
raspberry. Make remaining tarts by topping 8 with blueberry preserves and
blueberries, and the remaining 8 with pineapple preserves and banana slices.
Serve at room temperature.

Cook's Notes:
I use a mini-muffin pan with cups that measure 1 3/4 inches across the top and 1 inch
deep.
Banana slices may be dipped in orange juice to delay browning.
