Belgium Pancakes Aka Crepes Recipes

BELGIAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Short description: mix everything, bake in a pan, eat
• ************************************
• Detailed instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder in a bowl. Make a little hole in the middle and add 2 eggs in the hole. While mixing together, carefully add milk. When you stirr everything together you can brake peaces of the flour-wal on the side so the flour mixes in bit by bit. Make sure there are no lumps left in the batter. Add the packet of granulated sugar. It's can also be replaced by the same amount of vanilla suger.
• Now add the 8 tablespoons of water to make the batter more liquid.
• ******************************
• Now comes the fun part.
• ******************************
• Put a non-stick pan with a diameter of about 24 cm (=10 inch) on a medium heat. The pan should be warm enough to make a drop of water siss. Add a little bit of butter/margarine/oil but not too much, like the size of a pea to the pan.
• ******************************
• Pour about 100 ml (= 0.4 cups) of the batter in the pan. Now you have to be quick and spread the batter over the entire pan because we want to make thin pancakes. Move the pan from the wrist. After a while you really get the hang of it and will be able to make perfect circles. If you are not so perfectionistic as I am, this step will be easier.
• ******************************
• When you see little bubbles all over the pancake it's time to turn them. This can be done by tossing the pancake in the air letting it flip over preferably putting on a big show when there are children watching or just with a spatula. Wait a while for the other side to brown.
• ******************************
• When you want to keep the pancakes warm while you bake some more, you can put them on a plate over a pan with boiling water and cover them with aluminium foil.
• ******************************
• This batter will make about 10 pancakes. Yummy!

BELGIUM PANCAKES A.K.A. CREPES

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and add to the milk, vanilla, and water beating either by hand or mixing in electric blender.
• Sift the flour with salt and gradually add to the egg and milk mixture.
• Add the melted butter and blend thoroughly.
• If mixing by hand, strain the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Allow to stand for at least an hour before using. If too thick, add a little more water and mix well.
• Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter (depending on the size of the pan) in the center of a hot, lightly oiled frypan. Tip the pan to spread the batter and cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook for 15 seconds on the other side.
• Serve with butter, brown sugar, and or powdered sugar.
• Prep time includes 1 hour resting.

EASY CRêPES

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.

FLUFFY SWEDISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Blend eggs, milk, warm water, white sugar, flour, and salt together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until well combined into a smooth batter.
• Stream the melted butter into the batter while continuing to beat.
• Heat a skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Coat the cooking surface with a thin layer of butter.
• Pour a thin layer of batter onto the prepared cooking surface; swirl the pan to assure even coverage.
• Cook the crepe until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes; flip the crepe and continue cooking until the other side is browned. Serve immediately.

FRENCH PANCAKES (CREPES)

Steps:

• Mix together flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
• Add milk and eggs.
• Mix well until smooth.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium/high until pan is hot (you may not need oil if you have a nonstick pan).
• Pour about 1/4 of the mixture in the pan and turn off heat.
• Cook until dry and then flip. Remove immediately and place on plate or serving dish.
• Repeat.

NORWEGIAN PANCAKES - PANNEKAKEN

Steps:

• Combine the eggs and milk in the container of a blender. Add the flour, salt and sugar, and blend until smooth.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray or butter. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, and tilt the pan to coat the bottom. Cook until the top looks dry, about 30 seconds. Carefully slide a spatula under the pancake and flip. Cook for a few seconds on the other side, just until browned. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining batter.
