WHOLE-WHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in blender and mix well. Let stand about 15 minutes.
• Melt and swirl around a small pat of butter in an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium heat.
• Angle pan and pour enough batter on one side to thinly and evenly cover the pan. Very quickly swirl the batter around to cover the pan in one thin layer.
• Immediately use your cooking spatula to push down the thin edges of the crepe around the perimeter.
• After about 1 minute (and once it is golden brown on the bottom) carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe.
• Fry for 1 more minute on the other side (until it is golden brown as well) and then roll up each crepe. Serve with 100% pure maple syrup.

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.

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.
