Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Blueberries
- 50 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 15 milliliters Honey
- 120 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 10 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Gradually add in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then stir them into the batter. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of batter (about 60ml) into the pan, swirling quickly to spread it into a thin layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the underside is golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6-8 crepes.
To shape the crepe baskets, mold the cooked crepes into large muffin tin cups while still warm. Let them cool to hold their shape.
Prepare the blueberry-orange compote by combining blueberries, orange juice, orange zest, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the blueberries soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble, spoon the blueberry-orange compote into the crepe baskets. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately.
