crepes with passion fruit glazed fruit
Crepes are a great weekend breakfast standby in our house as we always have the core ingredients on hand. This version has been dressed up a little with fruit and a passion fruit glaze, however they can be enjoyed with everything from fresh berries and whipped cream to Nutella. For the purists out there just drizzle with a little maple syrup.

Ingredients
Crepes
- 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour after all who needs bleach?
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup of milk
- 2 tbs of butter
- pinch of sugar
Passion fruit sauce
- 3 large/heavy passion fruit to make 3 tablespoons of juice after sieving
- 5 tablespoons sugar
Fruit of choice, such as oranges, strawberries or bananas.
Instructions
Crepes
- Add the flour and sugar to a mixing bowl, then add the eggs and a little milk and start mixing at a low speed. If using a KitchenAid use your paddle mixer. When the batter is smooth add some more milk. Keep adding the milk in stages until all the milk is incorporated.
- Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a cup in the microwave. Swirl it in your cup a little to cool the butter a little. Turn your mixer back on, on a low setting and slowly drizzle the butter into the mixture. Set aside the batter for 15 minutes to half an hour.
- After your batter has rested, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a cup in your microwave. Heat a frying pan to a medium heat. When your frying pan is hot, brush some of the melted butter on the pan with a silicone brush.
- Pour half a ladle full of batter into your pan. Tilt your frying pan to spread the batter uniformly over the cooking surface. After a minute or 2 you will see the edge of the crepe brown a little, when this happens flip over the crepe with a spatula. Let the crepe brown a little more and then remove it from the pan.
- Brush the frying pan with a little more butter and add the same amount of batter for your next crepe.
- You can serve the crepes as you cook them or keep them warm in a low oven until they are all ready. Don't worry if you first crepe sticks to your pan or if it looks bad, the first crepe of a batch is usually not worth serving.
Passion fruit sauce
- Sieve juice from seeds of 3 passion fruit. Place juice and sugar in pan and simmer for around one minute until slightly thickened. Juice will thicken as it cools. Add desired amount of fruit - oranges, strawberries and bananas work well. If oranges are juicy simmer again to reduce slightly.
