Sweet or savoury crepes are an easy Mother’s Day
treat that can be dressed up or down with many different ingredients. Crepes are
pretty resilient, and can even be made a day ahead, stored tightly wrapped in the
refrigerator.
Crepes
Yield: 18 15 cm (6-inch) crepes
• 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) milk
• 2 large eggs *preferably at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted, unsalted butter
+ more for pan
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract* omit for
savoury crepes
• 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon (30 ml) sugar* omit, if making
savoury crepes
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
Throw all ingredients into a blender, wet ingredients first, and blend for 30 seconds
or alternately whip by hand for 2 minutes. Let batter rest for 30 minutes at
room temperature. Heat a medium-sized, non-stick pan on medium. Add a scant
amount of melted butter (easily spread with a heat proof spatula), and add 1/4
cup (60 ml) batter to the pan. Quickly tilt pan all around to spread batter. When
crepe edges become crispy (about 1 minute), flip the crepe and cook for 20-30 seconds
more. Keep crepes warm in oven or re-heat in microwave for short intervals.
Garnish ideas for sweet crepes: Sweetened whipped cream, custard, fruit, Nutella,
maple syrup, maple sugar, honey, caramel spread, grated chocolate, grated marzipan,
toasted nuts, jams, jellies, compote, lemon curd, cacao powder, icing sugar,
fruit coulis and chocolate or caramel sauce.
Garnish ideas for savoury crepes: Strong cheddar, Suisse or fresh goat cheese,
hollandaise or béchamel sauce, steamed asparagus or baby spinach, roasted sweet
peppers, ham, smoked salmon, cooked shrimp, cooked bacon, crispy-cooked pancetta,
eggs, paprika or chipotle powder and herbs such as chives.
