Basic Crepes Mix In Blender Food

EASY BLENDER CREPES

Steps:

• BLEND: Add all the ingredients for the crepe batter into a blender, with the liquid ingredients on the bottom so things blend smoothly. Allow the blender to run until the batter is mixed and smooth. Stop, pour the batter into a measuring cup, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 48 hours.
• CREPES: Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with melted butter. Lift the skillet with your dominant hand and pour a ¼ cup of the prepared crepe batter into the skillet with the other hand, as you tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly so you don't end up with thick pockets of batter. Crepes are like pancakes, so the first one may not be perfect! Allow the crepes to cook, about 1 - 2 minutes or until the tops look dry and the edges start to lift up and away from the pan. Flip them at that point, they should be slightly golden with bubbly brown spots. The second side will only take about 30 seconds or so. Remove to a plate and continue to cook additional crepes, stacking one on top of the other. Crepes can be made 1 day in advance, stacked, covered with plastic wrap (on a plate) and refrigerated until ready to serve.

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.

CREPES

Steps:

• In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
• Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

BLENDER CREPES

Steps:

• Add flour, milk, eggs, and salt to a blender. Mix blender contents using a spatula so that the flour is moistened and not sticking to the edges.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a crepe pan or frying pan.
• Blend flour mixture on low and pour in melted butter, returning the frying pan to the stovetop. Increase blender speed to high to beat out any lumps, 2 to 3 seconds.
• Lift the hot pan from the burner and pour in some batter quickly while tilting the pan in a circular motion until the bottom of the pan is covered. Transfer any excess batter back into the blender. Remove any batter from the lip of the pan using a spatula before placing it back onto the stove. Rinse off any partly-cooked lump on the spatula before using it again.
• Cook crepe over medium heat, checking frequently until the bottom is very light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip crepe over carefully and cook until golden, about 1 minute more, being careful not to overcook. Transfer crepe to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter.

BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• Blend eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a blender until smooth and frothy. Add flour and salt and blend just to combine. Cover batter and chill at least 1 hour.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen and carefully flip. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds, then transfer to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
• Serve crepes with Suzette Sauce, Milk Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream, and/or jam alongside.

MULTIGRAIN BLENDER CREPES

Steps:

• Place oats in a blender and blend on high speed to make oat flour, 10 to 15 seconds. Add milk, water, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt and blend until combined. Add both flours and blend until incorporated and smooth, about 20 seconds.
• Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
• Remove batter from the refrigerator and blend for a few seconds if batter has separated.
• Heat a 12-inch saucepan over medium heat. Spray the warm pan with nonstick spray. Add 1/4 cup batter to the pan, lifting and swirling the pan immediately so the batter spreads thinly and uniformly around the pan. Cook until the edges are set and begin to pull away from the pan, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip crepe with a rubber spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a cooling rack and repeat to cook remaining crepes.

SIMPLE CREPES

Steps:

• In a blender, puree flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 1 day; stir for a few seconds before using.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with butter. Quickly pour 1/4 cup batter into center of skillet, tilting and swirling pan until batter evenly coats bottom. Cook until crepe is golden in places on bottom and edges begin to lift from pan, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Lift one edge of crepe with an offset spatula, then use your fingers to gently flip crepe. Cook on second side until just set and golden in places on bottom, about 45 seconds. Slide crepe onto a paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat with remaining batter, coating pan with more butter as needed, and stacking crepes directly on top of one another. Let cool to room temperature before using, wrapping in plastic wrap and refrigerating up to 5 days, or freezing up to 1 month.
