Instructions
Crêpe Preparation
-
Gather Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients for the crêpes. It’s important to have everything on hand to ensure a smooth cooking process.
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a small mixing bowl, crack open the two eggs and whisk them until they are well blended. This will provide the base for your crêpe batter.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the whisked eggs, add the white sugar and milk. Stir gently to combine these ingredients into a smooth mixture.
-
Add Flour Gradually: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the egg mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is evenly combined and smooth. The goal is to eliminate any lumps for a silky crêpe texture.
-
Incorporate Butter: Melt the butter in the microwave, and once melted, gradually pour it into the crêpe batter while continuing to mix. This will add richness and flavor to your crêpes.
-
Preheat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. If you’re using a regular pan, add a teaspoon of butter or margarine to lightly coat the bottom.
-
Cook the Crêpes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter into the heated pan. Immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer that covers the bottom.
-
Check for Doneness: Once the edges begin to lift and the top is no longer sticky or wet, use a spatula to gently remove the crêpe from the pan and transfer it to a plate. You do not need to flip the crêpe.
-
Repeat: Continue this process until all the batter is used up, stacking the cooked crêpes on a plate.
Pear Filling
-
Prepare the Pears: In a separate pan, place a small amount of margarine or butter over low heat. Allow it to melt gently.
-
Add Honey and Sugar: To the melted butter, add the honey and sprinkle in the brown sugar. Mix these ingredients together to create a sweet glaze.
-
Cook the Pears: Place the sliced pears into the pan with the butter and sugar mixture. Allow the pears to heat, soften, and soak up the flavors, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 5 minutes.
-
Optional Almonds: If desired, sprinkle in some sliced almonds during the last minute of cooking for an added crunch and flavor.
Assemble the Dish
-
Fill the Crêpes: Take one crêpe at a time and place a few slices of the warm, glazed pears in the center. Roll the crêpe gently around the filling.
-
Serve with Yogurt: Drizzle vanilla yogurt over the top of each crêpe for a creamy finish. You can also serve the yogurt on the side for dipping.
-
Enjoy: Your Pear à La Crêpes are now ready to be enjoyed! Relish the combination of warm pears, delicate crêpes, and refreshing yogurt in every delightful bite.
