Mango Mille Crepes

It's been a long time I have not been blogging. Most of the times, I will just post in FB as I don't have to think much what to write. Today I had a date with Aunty Young  I have invited her to post a Mile Crepe together. I have seen a couple of her mile crepes cakes and am impressed with her different version of Millie Crepe Flavours. As now is the mango season, therefore I chose a Mango Flavour Mille Crepes topped with Passion Fruit Sauce. 




Recipe Source: Y3K French Style Mille Crepes

Ingredients for Crepes ( makes 20 - 22 pieces)


A:  225g Fresh Milk
     135g Eggs
     1/4 tsp salt

Methods:

1. Place ingredients (A) into a large mixing bowl, stir well till batter is smooth. Strain through a sieve, rest it for 30 minutes. Add in ingredient (B) and mix in well just prio to frying crepe.

2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat till the pain is really hot with a slight smoke seen. Use a small ladle to scoop up no. (1) and pour a little batter into the pan tilting it so that just a thin layer of batter covers the base. Pour off any exess batter back into no (1). Cook crepe till underside has set.

3. When the edge turns to a pale golden, use a spatula to ease it away from pan. Use your hand and carefully lift out the crepe. Lay the cooked crepes in a container while you cook the remainder.Remember you must stir batter well before each scoop or else batter can thickens on standing ( if this happens,dilute it with a drizzle of water). Repeat process to the end.

Assemble:

Place one piece of crepe on a cakeboard.
Spread a thing layer of filling on top.
Stack on another piece of crepe on it.
Lightly flatten with your hand along the centre point (this helps the cream to sit better)
Repeat process till finish.
