Ingredients
Units
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) milk and water mixed
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups (473 ml) flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 cup (237 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Almond poppy seed crêpes
- Almond whipped cream
- Raspberry freezer jam or sweetened raspberry puree
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except poppy seeds) in a blender and mix until smooth. If mixing by hand, beat eggs with a fork, add milk, water, and melted butter, then gradually add flour and sugar, whisking until smooth. Finally, stir in poppy seeds.
- Rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Spoon batter to coat the bottom of a lightly-greased pan on medium heat.
- For thinner crêpes, use roughly 1/4 cup batter for a 12-inch pan; spread with the bottom of the measuring cup. For thicker crêpes, use a little under 1/2 cup of batter.
- When the batter starts to set, flip the crêpe and cook the other side until both sides are light golden.
- Almond Whipped Cream
- Mix ingredients together and beat on high using a hand-held mixer or a KitchenAid mixer with the whisk attachment for several minutes until fluffy peaks form. If too stiff, add more cream and continue beating.
- Crêpe Cake
- Place a crêpe on a plate or cake platter.
- Spread a small amount of whipped cream on the crêpe, then spread some raspberry jam on top.
- Place a crêpe on the jam and repeat until desired height.
- Garnish with additional almond whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of a milk/water mixture.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your crêpe pan with butter or oil before each crêpe.
- If raspberry jam is unavailable, use another fruit preserves like apricot or strawberry.
