- In the bowl with the smaller amount of batter, add the blueberry jam and mix everything very well to fully incorporate the jam. Strain this blueberry batter with a fine sieve and place it in a dropper, a squeeze bottle or a soft bottle with a fine tip. You can also use a dispensing funnel.
- Grease the crepe pan de Buyer and heat it over medium heat.
- When it’s hot, add a little blueberry batter to the pan forming a spiral. Heat the batter for a few moments and then pour a ladle of the plain batter, covering the swirl.
- Cook on both sides and when done, remove the crepe from the pan.
- Repeat the process until the batter is used up. Enjoy your delicious crepes!
NOTES
- You can use any jam, although crepes always look prettier if you use strawberry, mixed berry, raspberry, etc., since the contrast between the batter colors is more noticeable.
- You can make pancakes instead of crepes; although smaller, they will also look very pretty.
- If you want to round out the dish, you can fill the crepes with a very delicious blueberry sauce. Here you will find the recipe.
