Riff: fluffy pancakes into crepes

[perks]

2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
Butter, for coating the pan

I use a blender to mix all the ingredients, <takes about 7-8 seconds, any longer and you'll create gluten strands>
The lack of baking powder reduces the leavening.
Also, and this is important, let your mixture rest for an hour. This cuts down on air<which is also a leavener>

then you can either heat a nonstick pan or a non-stick griddle, butter it<important even though it's non-stick>

pour into the pan, move the pan around until it is spread out, flip after 30 seconds.

You'll have perfect crepes.

If you want to have sweeter crepes add some vanilla and a tablespoon or two of sugar.

More savory crepes, pinch of salt and 1/4 cup of chopped herbs<anything but rosemary cause it sticks in your teeth>

No , I was just checking a search engine for a crepe recipe, and it brought me here

I got to go get some breakfast














"pfffffffft, the magic dragon.."

 

[glamorilla]

Sometimes I put a little pinch of nutmeg in along with the vanilla or some orange zest.

 

[perks]

a little bit of liqueur snazzes them up too

Hiiiiiii glammy, so lovely to see you. MIssin' you sugah!

Perky-



Next time, I am gonna make crepes and put strawberry-rhubarb jam inside of them with some melted butter on top.

Damn. Just thinking of it makes me want to eat pussy.

 

[erosman]

OK, breakfast is...hmm...a memory?

I think I'll get something to eat now A long walk with the mrs. and I am going to put the crepe recipe to the test. You and your suggestive sale, perky, has me wanting crepes.

Orange zest is the shit. I need a zester.

I think, today... what day is it? Sunday. I think today I will make some hummus?

Or wait- it is Sunday. My parents are gone to Baton Rouge. hmmmmm. (Don't know if I should go. I could bring Amelia with me and let her check the place out while Peter the schnauser is at the spa- in the mean time I raid dad's freezer).

Or maybe I will say here. Make hummus. Smoke a chicken. Or eat another trout?

I still have another quarter of a head of steamed cabbage. (with carraway seeds and pepper vinegar- sugar, it's good).

I love food.

I made some pancakes last night- I thought they were too "cakey" and I prefer crepes.

I like to cook. I am not a chef. I don't even consider cooking a "hobby." But I like good food.

And good pussy never hurt anyone either (Damn, I need to tell that to my therapist!)

She's taking a nap right now. When she wakes up, she will want to eat and then to play. My tape is ready. And I am ready to share her with the world.

I am gonna take the chicken and the trout out.

I got a frozen mallard in there too.

the cakey thing is from having to many leaveners<air, baking powder/soda, and eggs> If you let the batter rest that gets rid of the air, and if you get rid of the soda it won't make them cakey. Eggs are enough. If you do it in the blender, it's the perfect mixer. It cuts the ingredients together nicely and won't over work your batter. It's a science thing, as is all baking.

When I worked as a freshman in college with Chef Jim (Hyde Park dude) and he would make me bake, he told me the same thing.

Baking is science. Cooking is art.

I miss Jim. He caught me smoking a joint in the outside walk-in and got pissed at me because I didn't ask him along.

I wish I could remember his last name. I'd look him up and ask him how is he doing.

I saw one of my old chefs on the cooking channel a month or so ago in a food competition.<he was the one who recommended me to the RTR> I got hold of him, it was really great. Some people, teachers, mentors, they just change your life forever.

Let's add some cream cheese or sour creme into the Stawberry-rhubarb crepes.

In moscow, I ate blintzes. Wonderful, orgasmic blintzes.

My kitten has stirred. Here she comes.

God I love it when she comes.

[erosman]

OK, perky...

I tripled your recipe, because of a teenaged food processor. I am also using a cast iron skillet, and it seems to be doing just fine.

 

[erosman]

crepe in progress...

 

[erosman]

cream cheese and whipped cream filling, with Colorado tree-ripened peaches(from the freezer). Thanks, perkster, this crepe recipe is a keeper.

 

[Rubyfruit]

I knew I shouldn't have come into this thread.

Damn I'm hungry now.

 

[RhumbRunner13]

See if you can find.....

....Devonshire double cream!

Incredible stuff!

[perks]

those look GREAT!!!

glad the recipe worked for you, sugah. It's one of my favorites.

 

[erosman]

So perk, my cast iron maiden worked just fine. Why use the synthetic-shit skillet? Ooops!, I mean is there an advantage to a non-stick skillet?


damn, those were good! You should start a diner corner here, perky.
