This is a favourite family recipe straight from my mother’s kitchen….crepes! My mother has been making crepes for years and it is a delicious treat that we all love…whether sweet or savory.
Being a Maritimer, our favourite savory crepes are stuffed with seafood and drizzled with creamy cheese sauce. Every time I go home to Nova Scotia from Alberta, I ask my mother to make us her famous, mouth-watering seafood crepes. But when it comes to satisfying our sweet tooth,
we enjoy crepes all berried-up with yogurt and whipped cream for a fresh & tasty breakfast, brunch or dessert.
If I could have any breakfast served to me in bed, hands down I would choose yogurt & berry crepes.
Crepes with fresh berries, yogurt and whipped cream are positively dreamy!
Crepes are basically skinny pancakes made with 3-4 eggs in the batter and less flour, which makes them higher in protein than pancakes and very filling. Best of all, crepes can be filled with a wide array of fillings such as fruit, ice cream, cheese, seafood, chocolate, asparagus, ham, chicken, or anything you can imagine!
However, you really cannot go wrong with berries and yogurt for special Mother’s Day breakfast in bed!
Easy & Yummy Crepes
{makes 8 crepes}
Ingredients for Crepes:
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1-2 tablespoons sugar {add sugar for sweet fillings only.}
Berry & Yogurt Filling:
4 cups assorted berries {chop strawberries into medium dice}
Juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
To Finish:
1 can of whipped cream or 2 cups of whipped cream
Maple syrup
To Make:
1. Place crepe ingredients in blender in any order. {You can also blend in a smoothie maker such as Nutri-bullet, or whisk by hand.} Blend until smooth.
2. Place batter in refrigerator for 1 hour or longer. While the batter is in the fridge, prepare the berry filling.
3. In a medium bowl, combine berries. Cut orange in half and squeeze juice over berries. Sprinkle with sugar and stir. Set aside while making crepes.
4. In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, pour in crepe batter in a VERY thin layer…just enough to cover bottom of frying pan. Fry gently until edges are brown. Then flip crepe over using a small spatula or your fingers. When second side is cooked, then place crepe on a dinner plate to cool. Repeat until there are 8 crepes.
A non-stick frying pan set on medium heat works best for making the crepes.
To assemble crepe, arrange crepe on dinner plate and add a small amount of yogurt down the center. Add some berries top.
Roll crepes up and place on plate with seam side down. Finish with more berries and bit of whipped cream. Top with a strawberry. Serve some maple syrup on the side if desired.
As I mentioned, this makes an amazing breakfast for a special ‘breakfast in bed’.
It is such a pretty breakfast to serve too!
Add some orange juice and fresh coffee to make the breakfast complete.
{And yes, if bacon rocks your world…add some of that on the side of the plate too!}
I think that anyone served this special breakfast in bed will feel loved and appreciated!
