Orange Crepe Batter Food

BASIC CREPE BATTER

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs and milk with a whisk or in an electric blender. (We always use the blender and it's easy to pour from).
• Sift the flour with the salt and add to the egg and milk mixture.
• Add the melted butter or vegetable oil and blend thoroughly.
• If beating by hand, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Allow mixture to stand for at least an hour before using (my kids can't do that!). If the batter is too thick, add a little milk and mix.
• Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter in the centre of a hot, nonstick frying pan. Tilt to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Don't worry if the first couple aren't perfect - those are the trial ones for me!
• You can roll these with fruit inside and top with whipped cream. My kids like using peanut butter and bananas and I like blueberries or spinach and mushrooms. Be adventuresome!

• Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow air bubbles to escape.
• Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
• This batter has a tendency to stick to the crepe pan while cooking due to the sugar, so use a little extra oil on the crepe pan.
• To cook, spray a nonstick crepe pan with nonstick spray, and heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances when it hits the pan.
• Ladle about 2-3 Tbsp of batter into pan, and swirl around until it completely coats the bottom of the pan.
• If you have any excess batter, just dump it back into the bowl.
• Cook just until the edges of the crepe begin to look dry and a little crisp.
• Turn over, and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds longer.
• Turn out onto a towel to cool, and repeat for the next crepe.
• It should not be necessary to separate the crepes to prevent sticking, but you may, if desired.
• Recipe makes about a dozen crepes, but I usually double it and store the extra crepes in the freezer.
• Just wrap the crepes in a couple paper towels, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freezer for up to 6 months.
• Makes about 12-14 7" or 20- 24 5" crepes per recipe multiple.

• Warm an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush with a little melted butter.
• While swirling the pan, ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan to cover evenly. Cook for 30-45 seconds, until the batter sets.
• Lightly tap the edge of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the crepe, then flip and cook 30 more seconds. Alternately, you may use a rubber spatula to flip the crepe.
• The crepes should be pliable, not crisp, and light brown in color. Slice onto a platter, covered with a towel, while you make the rest of the crepes.

ORANGE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER CREPES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add the flour mixture in thirds, whisking until smooth after each addition. Knead 1 squeeze pack of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter in your hands until softened, then add half of the squeeze pack to the crepe batter and whisk until totally smooth. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with nonstick spray. Add ¼ cup of the crepe batter, tilting the pan until the batter coats the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 minute, until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 crepes total.
• Use a sieve to dust a crepe evenly with cocoa powder. Fold in half, then in half again, to create a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
• Arrange each crepe on a plate and drizzle with the remaining 1½ squeeze packs of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter (run the squeeze packs under warm water if the consistency is too thick to drizzle) and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon orange zest. Garnish with the orange slices.
