SUPER EASY, SUPER DELICIOUS BREAKFAST CREPES

Steps:

• In a blender, combine milk and eggs, blend until foamy, approx 20 seconds or so. Turn off.
• Add sugar and salt, blend for a few seconds turn off.
• Add melted butter and vanilla, blend a few seconds turn off.
• Add flour, blend until all mixed.
• Okay now for cooking them, this is what I did --
• I had a small tefal frying pan, (measured 6-1/2 on bottom, 9-1/2 or so across top) I sprayed it with non-stick Butter Flavor cooking spray. Heat it on medium-high heat.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup and dump crepe mixture into pan, swirl around real quick to coat bottom of pan.
• I used a silicon spatula to lift edges of crepe and to form round if any stray edges -- it will start to bubble, not much, but its safe to flip when you see edges on underside becoming brown. Just flip with plastic spatula.
• So once first side cooked, flip and cook about 2 minutes or so, transfer to plate and continue with rest of batter.
• *** Each crepe I made, I sprayed pan with butter cooking spray. So when I took crepe out, i sprayed bottom of pan before putting next cup of batter, do each time.
• Serve with powdered sugar, jam, fruits any filling of your choice!
• *** For chocolate crepes, add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to blender when adding in vanilla.
• *** For saltier crepes to make with meat or veggies, omit sugar and vanilla.

TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and sugar, whisk until you have a light batter; make sure there are no lumps. Stir in the melted butter. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Heat 2 teaspoons butter over medium heat in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet. Add 1/3 cup of the batter and immediately tilt the skillet so that the batter spreads out evenly.
• Cook for approximately 3 minutes, until the batter has set on top, then flip, using a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Repeat, stacking the cooked pancakes, until you have used all the batter.
• Serve the pancakes warm with berries and sugar, or cheese and ham.

THE BEST CREPES

Steps:

• Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
• Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
• Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
• For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.

BLUEBERRY CREPES (DIABETIC)

Steps:

• Reserve crepes.
• Combine cornstarch, sugar replacement, salt, milk, lemon juice and vanilla in saucepan.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened; remove from heat.
• Crush 1 cup of the blueberries and add to cream mixture.
• Return to heat, and cook and stir until thickened.
• Cool.
• Fold in remaining blueberries.
• Divide evenly between crepes, and fold or roll the crepes.
• Top each with heaping 1 tablespoon topping.
• Exchange 1 serving: 1/2 bread 1/2 fat.

FRESH BLUEBERRY CREPES

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl or measuring cup.
• Blend completely until smooth.
• Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Heat an 8-inch (20cm) non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
• melt about 1/2 tsp (3ml) shortening in the skillet until very hot.
• Tilt pan back and forth to fully coat bottom.
• Alternatively spray the pan with cooking spray before heating.
• Pour in just under 1/4 c (60ml) batter with 1 hand, tilting it around in a full circle as the batter hits the pan.
• Replace the skillet on the heat.
• Using a flexible spatula,gently lift an edge when you see tiny bubbles on the surface of the crepe and when the edges start to turn brown (this will take only seconds per crepe). When the underside is golden brown flip it over shaking the pan to settle the crepe evenly on the skillet.
• Cook another few seconds until golden brown.
• Slide onto a paper towel lined plate.
• Place another paper towel and repeat process until batter is used up.
• Make sure the pan is always hot and a tiny amount of shortening coats the pan between crepes.
• Crepes can be filled with berries and cream then rolled or folded up into halves or quarters.
