Ingredients
- For the Blueberry Compote
- 3 cups blueberries, divided
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- For Serving
- 1 cup whipped cream
- For the Crepes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of blueberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Stir the mixture over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the compote thickens and becomes glossy. Set aside.
- Make the Crepe Batter
- In a blender, add eggs, milk, flour, oil, sugar, and salt. Pulse about 5 times or until smooth and well-blended. For best results, allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Crepes
- Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of batter to the skillet, quickly swirling to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the bottom.
- Cook the crepe until bubbles appear and pop on the surface, and the edges begin to lift, about 1-2 minutes. Flip if needed for a few seconds to lightly cook the other side, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve
- To serve, spoon the blueberry compote onto the crepes and fold or roll them up. Top with whipped cream and scatter with the remaining fresh blueberries.
Tips for the Best Blueberry Crepes
- Resting the Batter: Letting the batter sit for about 30 minutes allows the flour to hydrate, making the crepes tender and easy to fold.
- Thin, Even Batter: Pour just a small amount of batter and swirl quickly to ensure the crepes are thin and even.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other fruits like strawberries or raspberries to the compote for a mixed berry twist.
These Blueberry Crepes are a delightful treat, perfect for weekend brunches or special occasions. Each crepe is packed with fresh berry flavor and balanced with a touch of sweetness from the compote and whipped cream. Enjoy!
