Lemon Creme Crepes with Blueberry Topping image

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!
