LOW-FAT, LOWER CALORIE AND GREAT-TASTING CREPES



Low-Fat, Lower Calorie and Great-Tasting Crepes image

We love crepes, but not so much the heavy calories and fat from a traditional crepe recipe. This recipe creates the same consistency crepe as you'd want for breakfast, skip the Splenda for a dinner crepe, and it's super easy, too.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 16 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups skim milk
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons sugar substitute, such as Splenda
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons margarine, melted, such as Smart Balance
canola oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Prepare 8-9 inch diameter saute pan by heating on low heat on stove.
  • Beat eggs together with milk using whisk.
  • Add vanilla extract and Splenda and continue to blend.
  • Add flour in increments, blending into the mixture.
  • Drizzle melted margarine into batter, continuing to blend with whisk. Set aside.
  • Turn heat up to medium on saute pan, and spray lightly with cooking spray for the first crepe. If the cooking spray turns brown, the pan is too hot. The spray should remain a clear color.
  • Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Pick up the pan and swirl the batter to where it forms a circle. (A circular crepe takes practice. The key is to keep the batter thin and uniform in the pan.).
  • When the outside of the crepe's edges start to brown and the top of the crepe is no longer a wet appearance, flip the crepe over. Let it cook just a minute more so it's cooked through. Remove from pan onto a plate. Flip the crepe into a half, then another half, where it forms a quarter of a circle shape.
  • Continue the steps above until all the batter has been used.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat: If the skillet is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and become dry and brittle.
  • Use a thin layer of batter: A thick layer of batter will make the crepes difficult to flip and cook evenly.
  • Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side: The crepes should be cooked until they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
  • Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served warm, so they can be filled with your favorite toppings and enjoyed right away.

Conclusion:

Low-fat crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes every time.
