Crepes

 




CREPES 

Easy recipe, they can be sweet or savory.  Stuff them as you wish.

Ingredients 

1/4 cup                                                                Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup                                                                White flour *
1 teaspoon                                                          Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon                                                       Salt
1 teaspoon                                                          Orange zest (optional) 
1 teaspoon                                                          Vanilla (optional) 
1 cup                                                                    Milk of choice
3                                                                            Large eggs

Directions 

Mix together the flours, baking powder and salt.  Add the milk a little at a time to avoid lumps.  Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each one.

Cover the bottom of a medium size pan with vegetable oil.  When you see the oil shivering wait 2 more minutes then pour 1/4 cup of the batter, tilting the pan to spread evenly.  Cook the first side about 2 minutes or until visibly set, then 1 minute on the other side or until golden brown.  As the pan gets hot you might want to lower the heat to medium.  Add little oil after two or three crêpes. Yield 8 crêpes therefore 4 servings.

I tried with different milks, my new favorite is soy because it's more filling.  I want to try to make it vegan, then gluten free... pumkiny... I see a lot of crêpes in my futur.

I also tried different filling, today I had one with kiwi and walnuts and the other one with mandarin and walnuts, very satisfying. Oh! I almost forgot to mention, a little bit of maple syrup. (It goes without saying for a French Canadian) 

Make them à la you and bon appétit! 

Update (November 28, 2021) :

 

Today I stuffed it with pumpkin yogurt and mandarin on the side.  Scott had peanut butter... so good.

* or 1/2 cup fo flour of your choice.  I prefer King Arthur whole wheat but nowadays my grocery store don't have it.
