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.

Ingredients

  • 3 3 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup 1/4 canola oil

  • 3/4 cup 3/4 all purpose flour

  • 1 Tbsp 1 granulated sugar

  • 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. Cook for about 1 minute and remove from pan and let cool. Place wax paper between each crepe to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve warm or cool, rolled or folded around your choice of filling.

Notes

  • Crepes can be refigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

These waffles are the ultimate satisfaction, golden brown and full of flavor. Served with a tasty strawberry-rhubarb sauce, they really hit the spot but in a much better-for-you way thanks to the use of canola oil, whole-grain flour and just a touch of maple syrup.

The summer season is here! Time to light up the flames under some mean, tasty food. Of course, no summer get-together is complete without some skewers thrown on to a grill. For this dish, I recommend using lean, top sirloin steak cuts for a healthier red meat option, mixed up with some colorful vegetables. The marinade fuses the Latin flavors of aji, cilantro and lime with the Asian flavors of the soy sauce. The low saturated fat content of canola oil allows the marinade to stay free-flowing in the refrigerator.

Frittatas are a great meal option because they can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Using hearty ingredients, like potatoes and artichokes, add a boost of flavor and extra nutrition. Canola oil’s high heat tolerance allows me to go seamlessly from the stove top to the oven.
