Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter (for cooking crepes)
- 1 cup Crab meat (fresh or canned, drained)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Cover and let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with olive oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift, then flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place a crepe on a flat surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the crab filling onto the center. Spread it slightly and roll the crepe tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Transfer the filled crepes to a greased baking dish, seam side down. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, garnished with fresh dill or a side salad if desired.
