Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Add melted butter to the batter and mix until fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan or 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, quickly tilting and rotating to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to look dry and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- To assemble, spread a thin layer of cream cheese filling on each crepe, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries over the cream cheese filling.
- Carefully roll or fold the crepe, then garnish with additional blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately while crepes are still warm for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes helps achieve a smoother texture and more tender crepes. Don’t skip this step!
- Use the Right Pan: A non-stick crepe pan or an 8-inch skillet works best for even cooking. Make sure it’s well-heated before pouring the batter.
- Thin and Even Layer: Pour just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Quickly tilting and rotating the pan will help spread the batter evenly.
- Keep Crepes Warm: As you cook, stack the finished crepes on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and moist.
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to experiment with the cream cheese filling by adding lemon zest or a splash of almond extract for an extra flavor twist.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste and texture, serve the crepes immediately after filling them. Garnish with extra blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation!
