The Flavor: Our Daily Bread’s Extra Crepe Recipe

In our latest column of The Flavor, we interviewed with Our Daily Bread Bakery & Bistro’s Chef Zeisler. (Read the interview here.) He supplied us with a tasty recipe for sweet crepes. The great thing about crepes is they are versatile – you can also easily switch them out to make them savory! Here’s his recipe.

Savory Crepes

Ingredients:

  • 10 oz. all-purpose wheat flour (about 1.25 cups)
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 24 oz. whole milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 4 oz. melted butter

Instructions:

  • Sift the dry ingredients together.
  • Combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla in a blender and mix together.
  • Add the dry ingredients and blend.
  • While blender is on, pour the melted butter into the batter.
  • Once mixed, ladle batter into hot pan.
  • Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter covers the entire surface of the pan.
  • Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
  • Top with a savory mushroom cream sauce and/or any other toppings you’d like to try!

Makes approximately 8 crepes.
