Savory Crêpes
This is a great all-purpose crêpe, ready for your favorite fillings
Makes 5 cups crêpe batter, about 20 crêpes
6 eggs
1½ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely minced
Place eggs, flour, salt and milk in the blender jar. Blend on Liquefy for
about 30 seconds. Scrape the blender jar well and blend again for
another 30 seconds. With the blender running, add the melted butter and
continue to blend for 30 seconds. Stir in the chives.
Allow batter to rest for at least ½ hour before using. Crêpe batter will
keep for up to 3 days.
To make the crêpes, preheat an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan
over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray. Tilt the pan and
pour in just enough batter to cover the entire surface of the skillet (about
2 to 4 tablespoons). Cook until the edges just start to brown, then turn
the crêpe over and cook on the other side for about 30 seconds. Crêpes
can be made and stacked with a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap
between each one. Wrap stack in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1
week until ready to use.
For Sweet Crêpes – omit the chopped chives and add ¼ cup of
granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract to the above
recipe.
