Things to know about Crepes:
1. I always ruin the first crepe. Just know you are going to and when you do throw it away and make the second.
2. Crepes only need to be cooked on one side. when the top of the crepe is firm and the bubble have popped and are firm, the crepe is finished cooking.
3. Crepes only look hard to make they are really very easy.
Blender Crepes
This is a simple but delicious crepe batter which can be made in minutes. Don’t let crepes intimidate you they are really just thin pancakes.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs (2 Tablespoons whole egg powder, plus ¼ cup water,)
1/2 cup milk (1 ½ Tablespoons dry milk, plus ½ cup water, )
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1. Add all ingredients to blender. Mix well. Let sit 2-5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, Cook only on the one side. Because they are so thin you do not need to flip and cook the other side. Once the top is set it is cook all the way through. Serve hot.
