Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 lemon, zested
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
2/3 cup blueberry jam or preserves
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the crepes: Whisk the flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl. In a measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg and 1 tablespoon of butter. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
  • In a heavy small saute pan or crepe pan, lightly brush the pan with a layer of melted butter and heat over medium-high heat. Working quickly, pour in about 3 tablespoons of batter and tilt the pan to coat. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes and then flip with a thin metal spatula to finish cooking the other side, another minute. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep the crepes warm while preparing the rest of the dessert.
  • To make the Blueberry Filling: Heat the jam in a small pan over low heat or microwave until warm and syrupy. Whisk in the lemon juice and set aside.
  • To make the Custard Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt together until well blended. Whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until almost boiling, then remove from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla until well blended. Add a couple of tablespoons of the hot milk from the saucepan and whisk to temper the egg. Add resulting egg mixture to the rest of the warm milk in the pan, whisking to combine. Cook over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken (do not boil). Let the sauce cool slightly while assembling the crepes.
  • To assemble: Spread some of the blueberry filling in a line down the center of each crepe and roll up. Spoon a few tablespoons of the custard sauce on each dessert plate and lay 2 crepes on top. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve.

BLUEBERRY LEMON CRêPES

Categories     Side     Blueberry     Lemon     Simmer     Boil

Number Of Ingredients 29

Lemon Curd
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, chilled
Blueberry Compote
2 pints fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons crème de cassis
Crêpes
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon limoncello or 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Nonstick cooking spray
Brown Butter (page 200), warm
Confectioners' sugar
Chopped fresh mint leaves (optional), for garnish
Brown Butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, quartered
Pinch of kosher salt
(makes about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • To make the lemon curd, add enough water to a medium saucepan (or the bottom of a double boiler) to come about 1 inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Put the egg yolks and sugar in a medium nonreactive metal bowl and whisk until smooth and pale yellow, about 1 minute. Add the lemon zest and juice and whisk until smooth.
  • Once the water reaches a simmer, reduce the heat under the pan to low and place the bowl with the egg mixture in it on top; the bowl should not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the curd thickens, is light yellow, and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a piece at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next. Transfer to a clean bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • To make the blueberry compote, combine 1 pint of the blueberries, the sugar, and the lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has melted and the berries are soft, 5 minutes.
  • Stir together the cornstarch and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Stir into the blueberries and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the crème de cassis and the remaining 1 pint blueberries. Let cool to room temperature. The compote can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • To make the crêpes, whisk together the eggs, yolks, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the limoncello and milk and mix until combined.
  • Add the flour and mix until just smooth. Stir in the butter. Cover the bowl and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  • Line a large plate with parchment or wax paper. Heat a crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add 3 tablespoons crêpe batter to the skillet and immediately tilt and swirl the skillet to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Cook until the center of the crêpe is cooked through and the edges are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gently flip and cook the other side for 20 seconds. Invert the crêpe onto the prepared plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan with cooking spray and placing parchment paper between crêpes. The crêpes can be made 1 day in advance, covered, and refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the crêpes, pale side up, on a flat surface and spread about 3 tablespoons of the lemon curd down the center of each crêpe. Using a slotted spoon, top the curd with some of the blueberry compote (reserve the leftover blueberry syrup), then roll up each crêpe. Arrange the crêpes, seam side down, on the baking sheet, brush the tops with a little of the brown butter, and sprinkle with a little confectioners' sugar. Heat in the oven until just warm, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle some of the brown butter and blueberry compote syrup onto 6 large plates. Place 2 crêpes on each plate, drizzle the tops with a little more of the brown butter and some of the blueberry syrup, and garnish with mint if desired.
  • Brown Butter
  • Combine the butter and salt in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan several times, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

I love crepes. They're so versatile (especially with this batter recipe) to enjoy salty or sweet. This tasty sweet version can be used a breakfast treat or a fun dessert.

Number Of Ingredients 22

CREPE BATTER
1 cup(s) flour
1 tablespoon(s) plus 1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) milk
3 - eggs
5 tablespoon(s) melted butter
1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
1/2 cup(s) white cornmeal
2 tablespoon(s) half-and-half
CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE
6 ounce(s) softened cream cheese
1/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
- grated peel of one lemon
3/4 cup(s) heavy cream, cold
BLUEBERRY SAUCE
1/2 cup(s) water
1 cup(s) sugar
6 ounce(s) blueberries
- juice from 1 lemon
1 pinch(es) salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together first 5 ingredients plus cornmeal for crepe batter. Beat in milk, half-and-half, and beaten eggs, then add butter and oil and stir until smooth.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon peel until fluffy. Beat in the lemon juice.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate.
  • Pre-heat skillet or other flat pan to medium heat. Grease the pan with a tiny bit of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of crepe batter to the middle of the pan, then tilt and rotate the pan to form a thin, circular crepe. Cook until bubbles form on the top and sides begin to lift, then flip. Cook about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with the rest of the batter. (I do not add additional butter after the first crepe because I find it easier to form the crepes with less butter. You may need to add butter in between crepes depending on the pan you use.)
  • In a sauce pan, bring the sugar and water to a boil on medium-high heat, cooking undisturbed about 5 minutes. Add blueberries, lemon juice, and salt. Cook 4 additional minutes then remove from heat.
  • When all crepes are finished, spread some cream cheese mixture towards one side of crepe, then roll to other side. Top with blueberry sauce.
  • Enjoy!
