Best Brunei Egg Crepes Recipes

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.

BRUNEI EGG CREPES

Steps:

• For the filling, heat olive oil in a medium skill over high heat. Add garlic and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add onions, tomatoes, celery, mushrooms, scallions, fish sauce, Thai seasonings, and black bean sauce and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes, set filling aside. For the crepes, combine eggs, water, and fish sauce in a small bowl and whisk to blend well. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until extremely hot, about 2 minutes. Pour half the hot oil into a cup and reserve for second crepe. Pour half of the egg batter into the skillet and swirl to cover entire bottom. Reduce heat to low. Place half the filling mixture in center of crepe and fold in all 4 sides to make a square. Place serving plate over skillet and invert crepe onto plate. Pour reserves oil back into skillet and reheat over high heat. Repeat procedure to make another filled crepe; invert onto second plate. Garnish each crepe with cilantro and serve.
