Real French Crêpes

This no-butter crêpe recipe is one of the first ones that I learned as a child growing up as a French-Canadian in Montreal. The crêpes can be served either in the traditional style with real maple syrup or cold with ice cream rolled into it and chocolate syrup on top for dessert.

Original recipe (1X) yields 7 servings

2 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
cooking spray

Directions

Mix together milk, flour, and egg in a large bowl until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Grease the skillet with cooking spray.
Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the prepared skillet. Lift and immediately rotate the skillet to spread batter out in a thin layer. Cook until the top of crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crêpe; flip crêpe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Remove crêpe to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Poached Pears with Apricot Sauce

These poached pears are delicious but even better flambéed just before serving to make an impressive dessert for a special occasion! Lighting the rum on fire caramelizes the sugar and pulls out the flavor of the pears.

Nut-Free Macarons

The problem that I identified was that French macarons are almost always baked with almond flour, and so many people with tree nut allergies, counting me, are affected by this problem, because we can't eat freshly baked French macarons from a pastry shop. This is problematic, because I've always wanted to try a French macaron, since my sisters have tried them and told me that they taste really good, and I was jealous.
