Skyterra Wellness Simple Fruit Crepes
This crepe batter recipe will yield a soft and tender Simple Fruit Crepe. Skyterra’s tip: it is tempting to try and mix your batter until it is completely smooth, but you’ll get a better result if you take the extra step to strain out the large lumps, then allow the batter to rest. This method keeps your crepes light, thin, and soft. The filling is up to you — but we serve it with diced fresh fruit and chopped nuts, and then top with 100% pure maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 whole egg - local if possible
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter - used in batches as needed
Instructions
- Add flour to medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, stir in egg until texture becomes raggedy.
- Gradually stir in the water. The batter may seem thin, but it will thicken as it rests.
- Remove the lumps from the batter by pushing all the batter through a not-too-fine wire mesh strainer using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Rest the batter on the countertop/room temperature for 30 minutes, then stir again before using. It should have the consistency of heavy cream.
- To cook the crepes, heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Rub a touch of butter on the pan and pour just enough batter into the pan to provide a thin coating. As you pour, rotate the pan so the batter runs to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for a few minutes, until the crepe is browned, then flip with a spatula and brown the other side.
- Rebutter the pan as needed – you will most likely use less butter after the first crepe is done. Set aside all crepes and allow to cool before handling and filling.
