I honestly never heard of crepes until I got to college and then everyone everywhere was having crepe parties. I am still only at the very tip of learning about these amazing little treats. They are so versatile. They can be sweet, like in my picture, with fruit and chocolate whipped cream or savory with eggs, cheese, and meat. Any way you choose you eat your crepes, they will be amazing. Here's what you need.
Crepe Batter
2 cups milk
1 1/3 cup flour
1 egg
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Whipped Cream
2 cups heavy cream
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cups cocoa powder if you want it to be chocolate
Whisk all the crepe ingredients in a bowl making sure there are no lumps. Heat (on high heat) a frying pan with some butter to fry the crepes. The batter will be very thin and that's good. When you are first trying this, be careful not to pour too much because flipping these thin guys can sometimes be challenging and the less surface area you have to deal with on your first time the better. Cook your crepe for 1-2 minutes on one side (depending on how hot your pan it) and flip it over and cook it for one more minute. Repeat until you are out of batter. I like to brush on a little bit on melted butter between layers on stacked crepes.
With a stand mixer or hand mixer, whisk the heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar (and cocoa for chocolate) on high for 3-4 minutes to form stuff peaks. The end.
I liked the berries in my crepes but you could easily substitute it for any fruit really.
Enjoy!
