Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pure maple syrup plus more for serving
3/4 cup walnut pieces
1 cup complete pancake mix (such as Aunt Jemima Original Complete)
3/4 cup water
5 tablespoons brandy or orange juice
Vegetable oil
Crème fraîche,* whisked to loosen

Steps:

  • Boil 1 cup maple syrup and walnut pieces in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir mixture frequently until syrup begins to get cloudy, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture onto sheet of foil and cool. Chop praline finely.
  • Whisk pancake mix, 3/4 cup water, and brandy in small bowl to form smooth thin batter. Heat medium (7- to 8-inch-diameter) nonstick skillet over medium heat. For each crepe, brush skillet with oil and pour in very scant 1/4 cup batter, rotating skillet so batter covers bottom. Cook until edges brown, about 40 seconds. Loosen edges with spatula, lift, and turn crepe over. Cook until bottom browns in spots, about 30 seconds. Turn out onto paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, placing crepes between paper towels.
  • Fold crepes into quarters and divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle generously with praline and drizzle with crème fraîche and maple syrup.
  • *Sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.

These crepes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of crepes, but these were actually really good. The praline and crème fraîche were a great addition.

I thought the crepes were a bit bland. I added some sugar to the batter and that helped.

I had trouble getting the crepes thin enough. They ended up being more like pancakes.

The crepes were a bit too thick for my taste, but the praline and crème fraîche were delicious.

These crepes were absolutely delicious! The maple walnut praline was the perfect topping, and the crème fraîche added a rich, creamy flavor. I would definitely make these again.
