FAQ

You can enjoy Meyer Lemon Chamomile Suzette Crepes with a side of fresh fruit like mangoes or strawberries, or a warm cup of chamomile tea. For a decadent touch, whipped cream or a dollop of greek yogurt adds creaminess and pairs beautifully with the sweet syrup.

Absolutely! The crepe batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. This actually allows the flavors to meld. Just give it a gentle stir before using it to ensure a smooth consistency.

To prevent sticking, make sure your pan is properly heated before adding the batter. A nonstick pan is ideal, and a light coating of cooking spray or a small amount of butter can also help. Always flip the crepes when they’re golden brown on one side to ensure they cook evenly.

Feel free to customize Meyer Lemon Chamomile Suzette Crepes by adding different fillings. You could try various flavored yogurts, or even a cream cheese mixture for a richer taste. Additionally, toppings like nuts, seeds, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon can add a delightful twist.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 piece zest of 1 meyer lemon
  • greek yogurt and powdered sugar, for serving
  • fresh berries and/or citrus, for serving
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons loose leaf chamomile tea
  • 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon zest

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Blender
  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. To make the crepes, combine all the ingredients in a blender. Add 1/2 cup of water and blend until the batter is completely smooth. If the batter seems on the thick side, it should be a pourable thin pancake batter. Add another 1/4 cup of water if needed. If time allows, place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours in the fridge.
  2. To make the Chamomile Suzette Syrup, heat the butter, honey, 1/4 cup water, and chamomile in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and cook another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Strain the syrup through a strainer.
  3. Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray. Pour 1/3 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and then remove the crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. To serve, fill each crepe with greek yogurt, top with fruit, and drizzle with syrup. Enjoy!

Notes
