Crepe Recipes (easy verses regular recipe)

I tried two different recipes and I have to say it's best to take the long road instead of the easy road.

I made the easy recipe first and tried it twice with two different variations but it still made more like pancakes instead of crepes. I finally took the good things out of the Betty Crocker recipe and added them to the easy recipe and it made the crepes much better.  If you want a quick crepe recipe that only makes a enough crepes for four people, this will work but follow my variations of the recipe.


Easy Crepe Recipe: 

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup milk 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs

Combine all dry ingredients and then mix in milk, vanilla and salt plus and 2 eggs.  Add all ingredients to your blender and blend until it's a thin runny consistency without lumps.

Heat a small round non stick pan over medium low heat. 

Pour a round amount of batter in the pan and then swirl the batter around in the pan to thinly coat the whole bottom of the pan.

When bubbles form, time to flip the crepe. Crepes cook fast so be ready!

Put your favorite filling in your crepes and serve.

Betty Crocker Crepe Recipe taken from the 1989 cookbook.

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons margarine or butter melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Mix all dry ingredients and add in milk and butter plus vanilla. Finally blend in eggs.  I have mixed this in a bowl and then added it to a blender and blend it to make sure there were no clumps. I also found it's easier to pour from the mixer carafe. 

Heat a small round non stick pan over medium low heat. 

Pour a round amount of batter in the pan and then swirl the batter around in the pan to thinly coat the whole bottom of the pan.

When bubbles form, time to flip the crepe. Crepes cook fast so be ready!

I found this Citron Tea at our local H Mart. It's a type of orange marmalade that is perfect for the inside of the crepes.
