Flopproofcrepes Recipes

SIMPLE, FOOLPROOF CREPES

Steps:

• Measure milk and water in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Whisk in eggs, then flour, salt, and oil. (Can be covered and refrigerated several days.)
• Heat a small (8-inch) skillet over medium heat. Working 1 crepe at a time, brush skillet bottom with oil. Dip a ¼ cup measuring cup into batter, filling it a generous half full. With tilted pan in one hand, pour batter into hot skillet, as you turn the skillet all around so that batter completely coats pan bottom. Cook until crepe bottom is spotty brown, about 30 seconds. Turn and cook until spotty brown on the other side, 10 to 15 seconds longer. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with oil between making each crepe.

FLOP-PROOF CREPES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• With an electrical blender, blend until smooth.
• Melt butter in two frying pans.
• Pour batter into frying pans, so there is a thin layer of it in each frying pan.
• Flip with a spatula.
• When both sides of the crepe are golden brown, remove from pan and repeat process.
• Serve immediately.

BASIC CREPE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together flour, water, eggs and a dash of salt until smooth. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Rub an oiled paper towel along the inside of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Heat skillet. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the pan. Swirl batter around to cover surface. Cook over medium heat until firm, about 20 -30 seconds. Flip crepe with fingers or spatula. Cook for about 7 seconds on other side. Remove from pan and stack on a plate.

FLAPPER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the pie. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
• Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. In a non-plastic bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. When the milk is hot but not boiling, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-proof spatula. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat until the custard has thickened. Pour the custard into the graham cracker crust.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form; add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff. Scoop out the meringue on top of the custard filling. Sprinkle the meringue with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
• Place the pie under the broiler and bake until the meringue starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

FLUFFY CREPES

Steps:

• Whip egg whites until stiff peaks are formed.
• In a serperate bowl, whisk together all other ingredients until smooth.
• Fold in egg whites into mixture.
• Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
