Coffee Crepe Cups – Part 2

February 5, 2021March 6, 2016 by cookies

Hello,

Let’s start making Coffee Crepe Cups. Before I start making them let’s talk about crepes. The word crepe is French for pancake and is derived from the Latin crispus meaning “curled”.

Crepes originated around the 12 century in Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. Crêpes are also common in other European nations, such as Italy, Poland, Romania, and Denmark, although they are known under different names.

In areas of Eastern Europe, the meal is called palacinka (Serbian,Czech, Slovenian). In Danish, it is Pandekage and in Dutch it is pannekoeken. There are two types of crepes:

Sweet
Savory

Now that we have a basic knowledge of crepes we can start making them.

This is my favorite recipe and it is the best one you can find on the Internet. I made million version of this recipe but today it is my coffee version.

(Does it look like Cappuccino?)

Coffee Crepes - Starting Point — Coffee Crepes Start

For this recipe we need the following ingredients: eggs, milk, coffee, flour, salt, oil, water.

Coffee Crepe Cups - Part 2

Ingredients

1 cup AP flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup coffee
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup H20 (water)
1/8 tbs salt
1 tbsp oil

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour and the eggs.
Add milk, coffee, water, salt and oil.
Beat until smooth.
Let batter sit at least 15 min at room temperature or if you are not in a hurry you can refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day, whisk before using.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with oil. Add 1/2 cup batter and swirl to completely cover bottom of skillet. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown.
Loosen edge of crepe with a rubber spatula or knife, and quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more.
Turn crepe out onto plate.
Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with oil and stacking crepes on plate.

Now, my friend you are ready for “Fancy Coffee Crepe Cup”.

You are going to build the following + some extra on the top

I am sending you love with all the angels singing behind and above me…

who just reminded me about Taylor Swift Grammy Acceptance Speech

“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.

But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there.

And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment”

Frank Sinatra – I’m In The Mood For Love

I’m in the mood for love
Simply because you’re near me
Funny, but when you’re near me
I’m in the mood for love

Heaven was in your eyes
Bright as the stars we’re under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I’m in the mood for love

Why should we think of weather?
This little dream might fade
We’ll put our hearts together
Now we are one, I’m not afraid

If there’s a cloud above
If it should rain, we’ll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I’m in the mood

Enjoy your cake…and can you keep a secret?
