Crêpes (Peach or Nutella Strawberry)




Crêpe batter

3/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt just brimming over the edge
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sugar

Peach Crêpes

1. Make one recipe of baked crêpe batter recipe adding 1/8 tsp nutmeg, and  replacing 1 tsp. of the vanilla for almond emulsion (or extract). Refrigerate batter for 30 minutes-two hours to get a better texture.

2. Heat a large low edged cast-iron skillet on medium low heat, and lightly greased with coconut oil. Get a heavy duty pot holder to wrap around the handle of the skillet.  Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the pan and immediately swirl it around the pan to evenly coat. If you have too much better quickly pour it back into your batter bowl. Cook until the edges become a bit try and pull away from the edge of the pan. Flip the crêpe over and brown for a few seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add toppings.

Peach filling

2 cups fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp orange liqueur
8 peaches peeled and sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted

1. Simmer peach filling until it thickens and use to fill crêpes. In your KitchenAid whip the heavy cream until it thickens and holds its shape (Don’t overmix or it will start to get chunky).

2. Stir in the powdered sugar. Put a dollop of whipped cream over your peach filling and then fold up your crêpe in half and then fourths.

Nutella, strawberry, and banana crepes 

1. Prepare one recipe of Crêpe batter and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours for a better texture.

2. Heat a large low edged cast-iron skillet on medium low heat, and lightly greased with coconut oil. Get a heavy duty pot holder to wrap around the handle of the skillet.  Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the pan and immediately swirl it around the pan to evenly coat. If you have too much better quickly pour it back into your batter bowl. Cook until the edges become a bit try and pull away from the edge of the pan. Flip the crêpe over and brown for a few seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add toppings.

3. Spread about a quarter cup of Nutella on 1/4 of the crepe in a large pizza shaped section. Cover that with your choice of sliced strawberries and/or banana slices. Fold the group over in half at the edge of one of the edges of Nutella, and then fold in half again at the other Nutella edge.
