Easy Pancake Mix Crepes Food

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.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a medium frying pan or crêpe pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper.
• When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go.
• Serve with lemon wedges and caster sugar, or your favourite filling. Once cold, you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment, then wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.

BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

PANCAKE MIX DESSERT CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and sugar. Combine the milk, vanilla and eggs in a pitcher. While whisking, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mix until smooth.
• Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a teaspoon of the melted butter and swirl the pan so the butter covers the bottom of the pan. Add 2 ounces of the batter to the skillet, swirling the pan again to distribute the batter into a thin and even layer. Cook until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Then carefully flip and cook for 1 more minute on the second side. Remove the cooked crepe from the skillet to a cutting board or plate. Repeat with the remaining crepes and butter, stacking he finished crepes in a single layer to cool.
• To serve: Lay a crepe onto a clean surface. Add a tablespoon of the whipped cream cheese to the center then top with 1 tablespoon of the preserves and spread. Fold in half, then in half again to create a triangle, and set aside. Repeat with the remaining crepes. Top with berries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, a little whipped cream and a mint leaf to finish.

EASY PIZZA PANCAKES (THICK CREPE STYLE)

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt, make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and half of the milk (or all of the milk if using half water) Whisk until no lumps remain then stir in the rest of the milk (or water if using). If the mixture is too thick, add a little more liquid. Pour into a jug or have a ladle to hand.
• Prepare your toppings so that you're ready to go.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and spray a little oil over the base, your frying pan must have a lid, if not, substitute foil or another lid.
• If you are brave or in a hurry then you could use 2 or 3 frying pans at once!
• Once hot and working quickly, pour enough pancake batter over the base to cover, swirling round as you go (you want them thicker than thin crepes but thinner than american pancakes).
• When the underside is cooked and browned (you can check this by lifting up one of the sides) remove from the heat, flip over and assemble your pizza with the tomato sauce and cheese, sprinkling over black pepper and oregano as you go.
• The first pancake sometimes sticks but it helps to 'season' the pan so don't worry if this happens.
• Return to the heat and put a lid on or cover the pan. In a couple of minutes, the pancake will have cooked and the cheese should have melted.
• Serve immediatly, 1 is never enough so be prepared to allow someone else to stand over the pan once you get tired!

CREPES MADE EASY

Steps:

• With a whisk, beat eggs till well mixed and then start to add the flour. Add enough to thicken the batter to the consistency of a thick cake batter (or brownie batter).
• Then slowly start to mix in the milk. Add enough milk to thin the batter out to the consistency of half and half. Add salt, and for sweet crepes, the sugar and vanilla. Mix.
• Heat a 9 inch nonstick pan over med. to med/high heat. Spray with non stick spray or grease with a small drop of butter.
• Using a small ladle or a 1/3 measuring cup, lift pan off stove and pour measured batter in, quickly swirling the batter to coat the pan. Keep swirling the pan till all the batter has solidified. Return to heat.
• Cook approximately 1- 2 minutes. You can flip and cook other side for another 45 sec. or just remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Fill with whatever you would like. My personal favorite is after flipping the crepe, I break an egg on the crepe and quickly scramble it and spread it out over the crepe, being careful not to tear the crepe. Add salt and pepper then a slice of ham and a bit of cheese. Wait a minute for the egg to cook and the cheese to melt and then fold in half and half again. Oh so good! My kids love sugar and cinnamon or jam, my husband loves lemon and sugar. And lets not forget nutella with bananas and toasted almonds.
