Berry crepes are a delightful and versatile option for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. Made with wholesome ingredients and filled with a luscious strawberry jam, these crepes are sure to impress your family and guests. Follow this simple recipe to create these delicious and delicate treats.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs until well beaten.
- Add the nonfat milk and mix until combined.
- Stir in the melted salted butter and vanilla extract.
- Gradually sift in the whole-grain wheat flour, ensuring no lumps form.
- Add the brown sugar and salt, and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Let the batter rest for about 20-30 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid better, resulting in tender crepes.
- Lightly spray a non-stick skillet or crepe pan with cooking spray oil.
- Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion to coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-spraying the pan as necessary.
- Spread a tablespoon of strawberry jam down the center of each crepe.
- Fold the sides over the filling, forming a neat envelope or roll.
- Dust the crepes with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to whisk the batter thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to fully hydrate, which helps in creating tender crepes.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned crepe pan to ensure that the crepes do not stick and cook evenly.
- Pour just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, and swirl quickly to ensure a thin and even layer.
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent the crepes from burning and to cook them evenly.
- Prepare all toppings and fillings in advance to make the assembling process quick and efficient.
