Crepes

Ingredients (scaled)

1 servings

Directions

In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, sugar, salt and lemon zest. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and melted butter until well blended. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour. Lightly brush the surface of an 8-inch crepe pan or skillet with oil. Heat pan over medium hex until drops of water flicked from your fingers sizzle. Remove pan from burner and hold at a slight angle. Pour in 2 Tbsp. batter, tilting the pan back and forth so that the batter forms a thin, even layer on the bottom of the pan. Return pan to burner and cook until the surface looks set, 30 to 40 seconds. Loosen at one edge with a spatula and turn the crepe with your fingers. Cook about 30 seconds and slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat until the batter is used up. (If the crepes begin to stick, lightly brush the pan with additional oil.) To store: Seal the cooled crepes in a plastic food bag. Refrigerate for up to 3 days; freeze for up to 4 weeks. To reheat in microwave: Stack up to eight crepes on a plate and heat on high setting for 1 minute. To reheat in oven: Stack crepes in a pie plate and cover loosely with foil. Place in oven at 325 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes. Makes about 16 crepes. WARM BLUEBERRY RASPBERRY FILLING 1-1/2 cups frozen, unsweetened blueberries, thawed 2 Tbsp. sugar 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 2 cups frozen, unsweetened raspberries, thawed 8 crepes, warmed (see recipe above) 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt (optional) In a small saucepan, lightly crush ?½ cup blueberries with a wooden spoon. Stir in sugar and cornstarch. Stir over medium heat until the mixture starts to thicken about 1 minute. Add remaining blueberries and cook, stirring gently, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Gently stir in raspberries and cook 1 minute more. To serve: Spoon 2 Tbsp. filling in the center of each crepe and fold in quarters. Place two crepes on each serving plate and top with 1 Tbsp. filling. Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt if desired. Serves 4.
