Basic Crepe Recipes

Recipe #1
From Carroll Pellegrinelli,


Ingredients:

4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter


Preparation:

Measure all ingredients in to blender jar; blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. Cover and let sit for 1 hour. (This helps the flour absorb more of the liquids.) Makes 12-14 crepes.




Recipe #2

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
3 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter
Butter for cooking


Preparation:

Sift flour, sugar, and salt together into a bowl. Add eggs and mix together thoroughly with a whisk - mixture will form a thick paste. Add milk gradually and slowly, beating thoroughly until you have air bubbles. Add melted and cooled butter. Add flavoring now if one is desired (possibly 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel - 1 teaspoon dried herbs). Let batter stand for at least 1 hour until the air bubbles disappear. Makes about 16 crepes.
