Best Beer Batter Crêpes Recipes

BEER BATTER CREPES WITH BANANA CREAM CHEESE FILLING

Steps:

• Whisk flour, beer, eggs, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl to form a smooth batter.
• Toss bananas with enough lemon juice to coat in a separate bowl.
• Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy; fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture to form the cheese filling. Set aside.
• Heat white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove sauce pan from heat and stir boiling water into melted sugar. Return to heat and stir until it forms a smooth and clear syrup.
• Whisk cornstarch and 1/2 cup water together in a small bowl; add to syrup in saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk butter into syrup to form a caramel sauce.
• Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in an 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup crepe batter into heated oil. Tip and rotate the skillet until batter covers the entire area. Cook until the batter turns from wet to moist, and the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the skillet. Flip crepe and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side. Place crepe onto a plate, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep moist. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil each time to keep the crepes from sticking.
• Assemble crepes by spreading about 2 tablespoons caramel sauce over each crepe. Spread 1/8 the cream cheese filling onto the caramel layer; top with 1/8 the bananas. Roll the crepe around the bananas and place seam-side down on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining crepes and ingredients. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over crepes.

BEER BATTER CREPES II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and beer. Sift together the flour and salt, and mix in. Beat in oil. Allow to stand for 1 hour. If batter is too thick, stir in a little milk.
• Heat a crepe pan over medium heat, and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour on 2 tablespoons batter, and quickly spread to the edges of pan. Cook until top appears dry, then turn, and cook for 15 seconds. Set aside on paper towels and repeat cooking method until all batter is used.

BEER BATTER CREPES I

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and beer. Gradually whisk in flour. Add the salt and oil, then whisk the batter vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes, so all is thoroughly incorporated. Let the batter sit for 1 hour.
• Heat a 10 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush it with butter, and when it's hot but not smoking, pour a scant 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, and rotate it so the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer, pouring out any excess batter. Cook the crepe until it is just golden on one side, 1 to 2 minutes, turn it and cook until it is golden on the other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm by covering with aluminum foil. Continue until all of the batter is used.

BEER-BATTER CREPES

Steps:

• Melt 4 tbl butter. Whisk together eggs, milk, beer, and melted butter. Scatter the flour and salt over the mixture and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes (batter should be the consistency of heavy cream). Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
• In a small nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 tsp butter. Using a ladle, stir the batter and pour a scant 1/3 c into the pan, quickly rotating and tilting the pan to form a thin crepe. Cook the crepe until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the crepe and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more. Remove from pan and place crepe on a plate. Cover the crepe with a towel to keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining batter, each time stacking the crepes on the plate and covering them back up. After you have cooked the first few, you should only need to cook each crepe for about 30 seconds on each side.
• When crepes are cooked, you can fill them with any number of fillings and roll them up jelly-roll style, burrito-style, or just fold them in half and then in half again so that they form a triangle.

BEER BATTER CRêPES

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan, heat milk, salt and butter until butter has melted. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. 2. Place flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the oil and eggs to the well and whisk until the batter is stiff and smooth. 3. Gradually add milk mixture, whisking until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and whisk in the beer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 4. Heat an 8" crêpe pan or skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan if they sizzle, the pan is ready to use. Brush with a little of the melted butter. 5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill it with batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately pick up the pan and tilt and swirl it so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Pour any excess batter back into the bowl. 6. Loosen the edges of the crêpe with a metal spatula. You can use a spatula to turn the crêpe, but I usually, turn it with my fingers. Using both hands, pick up the loosened edges with my thumb and index finger and quickly flip it over. 7. Cook on the other side until lightly golden (usually less than a minute) and slide it out onto a plate. Cover with waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter. One serving suggestion: Sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar and serve.
