My family loves these crepes served for dessert, but they would also make a spectacular breakfast treat. The subtle infusion of flavor from the orange zest really makes them special.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- pinch salt
Directions
|
Combine all ingredients in a batter bowl or large measuring cup with a spout for pouring. Whisk well, until all ingredients are very well combined. Heat a 6″ frying pan to medium-high heat. Lightly spray (only necessary before the first crepe) the pan with cooking oil and pour in enough batter to make a 6″ crepe (about 3 tablespoons of batter). Tilt pan all around to spread out batter really thin. Once crepe is browned, (about 15-20 seconds) flip over and lightly brown other side (about 10 seconds). Remove crepe from pan and set on a piece of parchment paper. Continue cooking crepes and stacking on top of each other until all the batter is used up. (You should have about 8 crepes). Don’t worry if the crepes tear or don’t look perfect. Once they’re assembled and folded up, no-one will ever notice. Honey Mascarpone: Strawberries: Assemble crepes by spreading desired amount of Honey Mascarpone and sprinkling strawberries onto each crepe. Fold into fourths, dust with powdered sugar (if desired) and enjoy! |

IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
