Dessert Crepes
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Prepare the batter.
- Using a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, and vanilla extract until blended.
- Using large bowl, mix the flour and sugar together.
- Whisk the liquid mixture into the flour mixture, then add the melted butter
- Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours (or overnight).
Cook the crepes
- Remove the batter from your refrigerator and stir (it usually separates a little in the 'fridge).
- Using a seasoned crepe pan, heat over medium to medium-high heat.
- Melt a little butter in the pan and coat the pan with it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the crepe pan (the actual amount depends on the size of the pan).
- Quickly tilt and swirl or rotate the pan to coat the surface with the batter.
- Heat for a minute or two, until it is lightly browned on the edges and starts to dry out in the middle.
- Flip and cook for about 30 seconds, until it is lightly browned.
- Turn the crepe out onto a plate or towel and repeat the process until all the batter is used. Coat the pan with additional butter as needed.
- Serve.
Notes
These go well with sweet sauces or ice cream.
You can flavor the batter with a tablespoon of rum or liqueur (like brandy or amaretto). Add it to the batter when you add the vanilla extract.
