Ingredients
For the crepes
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 3 eggs large
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup brandy optional
- 1 cup plain flour
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- Butter for cooking
For the berry compote
- 3 cups wild berries fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
To serve
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar optional to sprinkle over crepes
Instructions
- In a blender, combine milk, eggs, sugar and salt. Mix on high speed for around 10 seconds. The batter will be foamy. Turn the blender to low and add the melted butter, vanilla and brandy. Blend for a few more seconds. Add the flour all at once and blend until combined.
- Place crepe pan over moderate high heat and melt butter until it begins to smoke. Pour enough batter into the pan to just cover the surface. As you pour, quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread a thin layer of batter across the bottom. Only pour in enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the crepe over moderate high heat until bubbles just begin to form on the exposed surface, 1-2 minutes. Lift up edge to check the cooking process. If the crepe starts to burn before it is cooked through, turn down the heat. If it is not nicely browned after 2 minutes, turn it up. When the underside is browned, flip and cook for another minute or less. Remove from pan and keep in a warm oven covered loosely with foil.
- Continue the process until you have cooked all the crepes.
- Make the berry compote. Put the berries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring them to a gentle simmer for about 3 - 4 minutes and start mashing them down with a fork. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Stir well and remove from heat.
- Serve warm crepes with the berry compote and sprinkle over powdered sugar if desired
