Crepes - to make and store
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Cold water and whole milk |
| 4 | Eggs | |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| About 1 1/3 cups flour | ||
| Vegetable oil or melted butter | ||
Directions
In a blender or food processor combine the water, milk, eggs salt and flour. With a rubber spatula,
scrape down any batter which adheres to the sides of the processor. If the batter appears thick,
add more water; if too thin, then gradually whisk in more flour. Let the batter set, in the refrigerator for an hour or so.
Rub an 7-inch crepe pan or non-stick pan with oil or melted butter. Set over high heat until pan just
begins to smoke. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot pan. Lift the pan from the heat
and swirl the batter around so that it evenly coats the bottom. Pour excess back into the batter for
the next crepe. Let the crepe cook on one side for about a minute or until it looks dried out. Flip
the crepe over and cook it for 30 seconds on the other side. Repeat until all are done.
To store, stack them, with waxed paper or parchment squares in between each one and freeze in
batches.
Yield: about 12 crepes
