Name: Peach Crepes
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 1 cup milk; 4 large eggs; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons butter, melted; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; FILLING:; 3/4 cup sugar; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 1 cup water; 8 medium peaches, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4-1/2 cups), divided; 2 tablespoons butter; 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; Whipped cream and ground nutmeg, optional

My mother-in-law passed this recipe on to me. The special ingredient, almond extract, gives it a distinctive, delicious flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FILLING:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
8 medium peaches, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4-1/2 cups), divided
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Whipped cream and ground nutmeg, optional

Directions

In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, butter and vanilla. Cover and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in water until smooth. Stir in 2 cups peaches and butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in almond extract and remaining peaches. Cover and refrigerate.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour about 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
Spoon filling over crepes; roll up. Top with whipped cream and nutmeg if desired.

I just got an electric crepe maker and used this recipe. It turned out wonderful. Thank you for making my first time using the crepe maker great.

These were good. I used thawed (from frozen of course) peaches (12 oz. pkg.) and cut the recipe in half and used just over 1/4 cup sugar. They were still extremely sweet, but everyone enjoyed them. I will use the dough recipe again, but will come up with a fruit recipe of my own that is a bit less sweet.

These are the most delicious crepes I have ever had! I will not go to Ihop no more when I get hungry for crepes. I used raspberry and strawberry jam for a quick and easy filling. Thanks so much for sharing.
