Crepes

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Ingredients:

2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar


Procedure: Crepes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and milk. Whisk in the salt, granulated sugar, nutmeg and flour. Whisk just until blended, no lumps. Do not over beat. The batter may be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Let batter return to room temperature before using.

Very lightly oil a nonstick 8 to 10-inch omelet pan, Heat pan over medium heat about 2 minutes or until a drop of batter sizzles as soon as it is dropped in pan. Pick up pan, pour or ladle in about 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) batter into pan. Lift and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom. Replace the pan on the burner and cook just until set and the underside is lightly browned. Using a spatula or your fingers, flip the crepe, and cook until the other side is lightly browned. Transfer to a platter. Place a piece of wax paper between each cooked crepe to keep them from sticking together. Allow the crepe pan to reheat about 15 seconds before cooking the next crepe. Repeat until the batter is used up. Keep crepes at room temperature until ready to serve. Crepes should be enjoyed within 2 hours.
