Ralph's Breakfast Crepes
Ralph makes these super delicious crepes, filled with strawberries, blueberries or apples, for breakfasts on our friends Summit weekends. Scrumptious!!
Some notes from the master chef:
" These are not French crepes, and are NOT thin! But they are not as thick as a pancake either!
- Eggs are jumbo, so scale accordingly if you do not use jumbos. Jumbo eggs are variable in size, which purposefully makes for different results in each batch - no boredom here!
- This eggy batter needs to be slowly mixed, with dry ingredients folded in by hand. This is done this way to keep the batter thicker.
- Yep - lots of butter fat in this recipe ... and eggs ... "

INGREDIENTS
- 6 jumbo eggs
- 1 big can (12 oz), 1 sm can (5 oz) condensed milk
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ pint heavy cream
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2½ cups flour (or potentially a bit more)
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt typical, or less if desired
- Real vanilla extract to taste (few squirts, not meant to be overpowering)
- White pepper to taste (few shakes, not supposed to be spicy)
INSTRUCTIONS
Beat the eggs, then mix in cans of condensed milk.
Sift and fold in the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt).
Stir in regular milk, heavy cream, melted butter (now you can use the melted butter pan to fry sausages in).
See if batter is runny, if so, sift a bit more flour in.
Shake in vanilla extract and white pepper, give final stir.
Now ready to fry up the crepes. We store them in a warm oven until all are fried up.
