Go-To French Crepe Recipe

Hi everyone! I know, I know. It's been too long since I posted. Between work, vacation, and wedding planning, my brain is pretty...cooked?

This is the recipe I've come across for crepes! I promise it makes up for my bad pun! Made this for my soon-to-be in-laws and it was a huge hit!

Crepe:
1 cup of AP flour
1/2 cup of water
2 eggs
1 tbsp of raw sugar
3 tbsp of melted butter
Splash of vanilla extract
Grated orange zest
1/2 tbsp of butter for frying every crepes

Blueberry Filling:
2 cups of fresh blueberries
Juice of half a lemon
Cinnamon, to taste
1 tbsp of honey
1 tbsp of flour

1. Preheat frying pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray.
2. Put dry ingredients in blender first. Then add wet ingredients. Blend until dry ingredients are well incorporated. Batter should be thin and kind of watery. Add 1 tbsp of water at a time until you get the right consistency.
3. Spray a small saucepan with cooking spray. Add blueberries, lemon juice, cinnamon, and honey. Allow blueberry mix to cook down, stirring occasionally. Once blueberry mix cooks down, add a little flour  and stir. Once well incorporated, turn off burner and put a lid on so it stays warm.
4. Add butter to pan. Be careful! Butter spits when hot.
5. This next step is tricky so I always have a practice crepe (or the chef sample hehe). Pick the pan up off the burner. Use a ladle to pour mix into pan (this evens out the portions and gives you more control). As you pour the batter, gently tilt the pan in a counter clockwise manner until the batter covers the pan. Place back on burner and cook crepe for 2 minutes on one side and about 1 minute on the other.
6. Add filling to crepes and serve! Enjoy as always! 😀
