Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c milk
2 eggs
1 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 c unbleached flour (i used pastry flour)
butter or oil, for cooking
real maple syrup
TOPPINGS: (AS SUGGESTIONS ONLY)
powdered sugar, fresh fruit in season, toasted nuts, etc.

Steps:

  • 1. Add the CREPES ingredients in a blender or food processor *in order given*. Blend for about 1 minute or until batter is smooth.
  • 2. Place about 2 tablespoons of butter and/or coconut oil in large *skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot and butter/oil has melted, pour 1/4 cup batter into middle of pan then swirl pan around so that a large crepe forms. *The original recipe specified a cast iron skillet. I tested the crepes using both a cast iron skillet and an 8-inch non-stick pan. Both worked well.
  • 3. Cook crepes about 1-2 minutes per side or when crepe starts to get crispy around edges and bubbles. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and/or other TOPPING suggestions.
