Basic Crepes

Recipe by CanolaInfo Test Kitchen

Crepes are very versatile and make an excellent main course, appetizer or dessert. Fill with shrimp or chicken in a creamy sauce, sauteed vegetables and cheese, or with fresh berries and whipped cream. Canola oil's neutral flavor works well with sweet or savory fillings.

  • 1/4 tsp 1/4 salt

Directions

  • Using blender or whisk, mix eggs, canola oil and milk until blended. Add flour, sugar and salt, continuing to blend until well mixed.
  • Brush medium frying pan or crepe pan with canola oil. Heat pan on medium high heat. Quickly pour about 3 Tbsp of batter into pan and tilt in all directions until coated evenly.
