TopSweet or Savoury, Crêpes Are Sensational!
Quick and easy to make, crêpes are incredibly versatile. Sweet or savoury, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and as first course, main course or dessert, crêpes are a hit with young and old alike.
Basic Crêpes
There are only four ingredients: all-purpose flour, salt, egg and milk (see basic recipe). But the variations on this theme are endless. Whole-wheat or buckwheat flour can be substituted for part or all of the all-purpose flour. Half the milk can be replaced with water for lighter crêpes. The batter can be flavoured with a little vanilla extract, cocoa, liqueur (brandy, rum), citrus zest, ground cinnamon, etc.
Recipe Ideas
Easy to make, crêpes can be rolled up around countless succulent fillings. The following are just a few of the irresistibly tasty combinations possible:
- Spinach, ricotta cheese and fresh grated Parmesan.
- Smoked salmon, sour cream and fresh chives.
- Shrimp, béchamel sauce, dill and Parmesan.
- Pan-fried sliced apples, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream.
- Fresh peaches and raspberries, fresh cream and maple syrup.
- Banana, chocolate coulis and slivered almonds.
