Creamy Custard Crepe Rolls

 

 

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
For the Custard Filling:
  • 2 cups (500ml) milk
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon butter (for added richness)
For Garnish:
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
    • Gradually add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla (if using), whisking until smooth.
    • Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Crepes:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
    • Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
    • Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter thinly.
    • Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter. Stack the crepes and set them aside.
  3. Make the Custard Filling:
    • In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, and cornstarch.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken.
    • In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, then temper them by adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture while whisking.
    • Slowly add the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
    • Cook until thickened and smooth, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and butter (if using). Let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Spread a thin layer of custard filling over each crepe.
    • Roll the crepes tightly into logs.
    • Optional: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them set.
  5. Slice and Garnish:
    • Slice the rolled crepes into smaller pieces.
    • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
