CRÊPES
Makes about 16 crêpes
1½ cups (375 ml) whole milk
1
cup (250 ml) plus 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) salt
1 tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted butter, melted
additional melted butter
Combine milk, flour, eggs, sugar and salt in
blender. Blend until smooth, occasionally scraping
down sides of blender, about 2 minutes. Add
1 tablespoon (15 ml) melted butter and blend 30
seconds. Cover and refrigerate crêpe batter in
blender container at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
Reblend batter for 15 seconds. Heat nonstick skillet
with 8-inch-diameter (20 cm) bottom over medium-
high heat. Brush with melted butter. Pour ¼ cup
(50 ml) of batter into skillet, tilting skillet quickly to
coat bottom evenly. Cook until top of crêpe appears
dry and bottom is golden, loosening edges of crêpe
with spatula, about 45 seconds. Turn crêpe over;
cook until brown spots appear on bottom, about 30
seconds. Transfer to plate. Top with plastic wrap.
Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with
more butter as needed. As crêpes are cooked, layer
as directed, between sheets of plastic wrap. (Can be
made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap plastic;
chill.)
For serving immediately, cover the crêpes with
aluminum foil and keep them warm in a preheated
200°F (95°C) oven. For serving later, wrap them in
plastic wrap in quantities intended for each use and
slip them into a self-sealing plastic bag. Refrigerate
the crêpes for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to
2 months.

¼ cup (50 ml [½ stick]) unsalted butter

1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
