Making Butterscotch Crepes

***This post goes out to Joooane, who made a foodwish for crepes.

It must’ve been one of my unlucky days today. First of all, I’ve never spilled so many things ever before this post. First I spilled melted butter over the kitchen floor, then half of a brand new bottle of vanilla extract and then, to top it all off, I spilled my drink (cherry limeade!) all over my desk while I was editing the pictures. Secondly, I just realized that I forgot to save the name of the person who asked for this foodwish before I answered the message, so now I have no idea who this post goes out to. My sincere apologies, but please claim your foodwish if you see this?

Haha, I claim my foodwish for crepes! THANKYOU! (:

I knew it was a name with lots of “O”s in it (I kept trying to find “Loooraine” in my followers list, to no avail). Thanks for claiming it! :D

CREPES:

[ 1 cup flour + 2 eggs + 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 cup water + 1/4 teaspoon salt + 2 tablespoon butter, melted ] OPTIONAL: Cream cheese, softened, for filling.

Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and eggs.

Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.

Add the melted butter and beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.

Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.

Repeat steps until all the batter is gone. Stack the crepes on top of each other to keep warm (or just keep the plate in the oven covered with a piece of foil) while you make the butterscotch sauce:

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE:

[ 4 tablespoon unsalted butter + 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar + 1/2 cup heavy cream + vanilla extract + salt ]

Melt butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, cream and salt and whisk until well blended. Bring to a very gentle boil and cook for about five minutes, whisking occasionally.
