How to Make Dessert Crepes. Dessert crepes, a sweet French tradition, are delicate pancakes
that can be enjoyed with many types of fillings after a meal – or even for breakfast. You
will need 2 c. all-purpose flour 6 tbsp. butter, melted, plus extra butter for cooking 1/4
c. granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 c. whole milk 1/2 c. powdered sugar
A blender An 8-inch nonstick skillet A heat-proof spatula and fruit, jam, melted chocolate,
or other filling of your choice. Step 1. Blend the flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and salt in
the blender until smooth. Slowly add ¼ cup of milk at a time until the batter turns into
a liquid. You've added enough milk when the batter has a pourable consistency. Step 2.
Leave the batter to set in the blender for 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the air bubbles
to settle, which helps create a lighter, fluffier crepe! Step 3. Drop 1 to 2 teaspoons of butter
into the skillet and turn the heat up to a medium-high setting until the butter has melted.
Lower the heat to a low-medium setting to prepare for the crepe making. Step 4. Add
3 tablespoons of batter to the hot pan and lift the pan slightly off the heat to swirl
the batter evenly around the bottom of the pan. Set back on the stove and let it cook
for 45 to 60 seconds until it is very lightly browned. Step 5. Gently slide the spatula
under the crepe and turn it over in the pan. Let it cook for 45 to 60 seconds before transferring
it to a serving plate. Store the crepes in a warm oven as you make them so they stay
soft and moist. Step 6. Continue to butter, pour, cook, and flip until all of the crepe
batter is used up. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the warm crepes before filling them with
fruit, jam, or melted chocolate, or enjoy them as is! Did you know Traditional French
crepes were called galettes and were made with buckwheat.
