Let stand at room temperature.

Place rum butter sauce mixture in small saucepan; heat over medium heat until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. Rewarm tropical fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in papaya and mango.

VANILLA CREPES



Vanilla Crepes image

When I was a little girl, my mother would always make us crepes on Sundays. I also loved the smell of vanilla when my mother would make her cookies. So, I would always ask her to make her cookies, and when she refused, I would take out the vanilla and sit it next to me with the cap open, so that I could breathe the aroma. My mother get a kick out of this, and said, well, if it's that important, we'll add a little vanilla kick, just for you. After the first time she put the vanilla in, there was never a last...it became a tradition.

VANILLA CREPES [547]



VANILLA CREPES [547] image

Yield 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and melted butter until well blended. Heat a crepe pan over medium heat until hot. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and tip to spread the batter to the edges. When bubbles form on the top and the edges are dry, flip over and cook until lightly browned on the other side and edges are golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Fill crepes with your favorite fruit, cream, caramel or even ice cream or cheese to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick pan: This will prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat: If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and won't have a chance to develop their flavor.
  • Use a thin layer of batter: The thinner the batter, the more delicate the crepes will be.
  • Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side: Flip the crepes only once, and cook them until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the crepes while they are still warm: Crepes are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Vanilla crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients, and they can be served with a variety of toppings. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect crepes every time.
