This weekend, we had a lovely brunch together. Everyone helped to make Banana Nutella Crêpes. While we worked, in true homeschooler fashion, we talked about Henry Ford, assembly lines and efficiency. We also passed around the Cthulhu Crêpe Monster – the result of the last slosh of batter in the pan that seemed to take on a personality of its own.
(Banana Nutella Crêpes served with a delicious Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier make for a well-balanced breakfast!)
Favorite Classic Crêpe Batter Recipe
1 C milk
4 eggs
1 C flour
1/2 TSP salt
1 1/2 TB melted butter
Mix until smooth.
Let rest for 30 minutes (this is the key!) before use.
Dessert Crêpe Batter: Prepare Classic Crêpe Batter and add 2 TB sugar and 2 TB liqueur.
Chocolate Crêpe Batter: Prepare Dessert Crêpe Batter with flour reduced to 3/4 C and add 3TB cocoa powder.
This is so crazy, coincidental. Men on the streets of Mexico, in Isla Mujueres, make these while you wait and watch. For about 20 pesos, less then $2.00, they serve it on a stick and as the batter cools, it becomes crunchy. Sooooo delicious!! We have been trying to re-create them here in PA since we returned from our trip. Do your crepes get crunchy? If you added more sugar?
Ooooh! A challenge!
Crepe batter contains many eggs. It makes them spongy and pliable for wrapping. I wonder if a Pizzelle batter would do the trick?
