・Mille crepe・

Because I have whipped cream left from decorating blueberry cheesecake.
So I thought of make something that has whipped cream as an ingredient.
and I thought of Mille crepe.
It was the sweets that I always avoid. Because I think it's too complicate and I always admire those who can do it.
But since I have plenty of time and it's not an order from my customers so I have a chance to fail again and again, why don't give it a shot.

I search recipes from the internet and I found this one.
But since it was written in Thai. So I will translate as below.
Thank you khun Lookson for the recipe ka.

By the way, the recipe owner work more hard than me. She has 4 component in this cake.
- Sponge cake (base)
- Crepe
- Whipping cream (I use plain whipping cream, didn't add any icing or flavor)
- Strawberry sauce
But since I'm a super lazy girl, I decide to cut off the sponge cake part and using only crepe, whipping cream and strawberry sauce.



Crepes

Made 15 sheets of 9-inch crepes, or 24 sheets of 7-inch.

Ingredients: Crepe batter
4 Eggs
Milk 500 cc.
Sugar 1 tbsp.
All purpose flour 200 grams.
Salt 1 / 8 tsp.
Baking powder 1 / 2 tsp.
Vanilla 1 / 2 tsp.
40 g unsalted butter, melted.


Direction
Strat from sifted flour, salt and baking powder together.
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, sugar and 250 cc milk in. Mix together.
Then,
gradually put 1 / 3 amount of flour into mixture. Then stir. Add the rest, stir.
Then pour the rest milk in.. Then stir.
Followed by the melted butter, vanilla. Then stir again.
Wrap with plastic cover and chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

When ready to fry crepe, bring crepe batter out of the fridge. Stir.
Put teflon pan on medium fire. Pour the batter in. Spread evenly.
Wait until you see the bubble then reverse side.
(Don't panic if you fail, me too. Haha..)
Cook until the crepe got golden. Bring it out.
Repete frying until the batter is out or until you feel tired (like me).

Don't worry about left over batter, you can keep it or up to 4 days.
But if you fry it all, that's better. You can keep crepes by store it in the ziplock back between pieces of wax paper and freeze it up to 2 months.
When you need it you just leave it thaw in the room temperature and then warm it in the pan/oven.


Ingredients: Strawberry sauce
2 Cups fresh or frozen strawberry
1 / 3 Cup sugar


Direction

Put Strawberry in the saucepan and use potato masher to mash up strawberries.
Add sugar and bring it on middle heat.
Wait until the sauce boiled and thicken up.
Now if any one wants a smooth sauce, use the seive and leave it cool.


Assemble

Laid crepe on a plate, spread over with whipped cream.
Then repeatedly the crepes - cream - crepe - cream - crepe action.
Until you don't have crepe / whipped cream / energy left.

Trim the edge for better look.
Chill and serve with strawberry sauce.

Tada!





Lastly, I was glad that I try. Enjoy :)
