Crepes à la Julia Child Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Sander

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour, scooped and leveled
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Cooking oil, for greasing pan

Steps:

  • Make the crepe batter: Put the liquids, eggs and salt into the blender jar. Add the flour, then the butter. Cover and blend at top speed for 1 minute. If bits of flour adhere to sides of jar, dislodge with a rubber scraper and blend for 2 to 3 seconds more. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Note: The batter should be a very light cream, just thick enough to coat a wooden spoon. If, after making your first crepe, it seems too heavy, beat in a bit of water, a spoonful at a time. Your crepe should be about 1/16-inch thick. Make crepes: Brush the skillet lightly with oil. Set over moderately high heat until the pan is just beginning to smoke. Immediately remove from heat and pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the middle of the pan. Quickly tilt the pan in all directions to run the batter all over the bottom of the pan in a thin film. (Pour any batter that does not adhere to the pan back into your bowl.) Return the pan to heat for 60 to 80 seconds. Then jerk and toss pan sharply back and forth and up and down to loosen the crepe. Lift its edges with a spatula. If the underside is a nice light brown, the crepe is ready for turning. Turn the crepe by using 2 spatulas; or grasp the edges nearest you in your fingers and sweep it up toward you and over again into the pan in a reverse circle; or toss it over by a flip of the pan. Brown lightly for about 30 seconds on the other side. As they are done, slide the crepes onto a rack and let cool several minutes before stacking on a plate. Crepes may be kept warm by covering them with a dish and setting them over simmering water or in an oven set to low heat. (Crepes can also be made in advance, frozen and reheated!) Grease the skillet again, heat to just smoking, and proceed with the rest of the crepes.

These crepes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding a bit more salt and sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crepes turned out really thick and doughy. I'll have to try again.

I had a hard time getting the crepes to cook evenly. Some parts were too brown and others were still too doughy.

These crepes were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try using less batter next time. Otherwise, they were delicious!

I've tried many crepe recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The crepes are incredibly thin and light, with a slightly crispy edge. The filling possibilities are endless, but I especially love them with Nutella and bananas.
