Mahalo cooking expert Tristan Blash shows how to make crepes with lemon juice and powdered sugar.
What You'll Need
Instructions
1. Whisk eggs in large bowl. Add sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Make sure your melted butter isn't too hot then add butter to mixture, continuing to whisk.
2. Sprinkle flour into mixture while whisking mixture. Make sure crepe batter isn't getting overly thick. It should be less thick than pancake batter.
3. Zest lemon into mixture.4. Heat skillet on burner set to medium heat. Oil the inside of skillet with cooking spray. Drip a small amount of batter onto skillet to see how it cooks, in order to make sure the heat is high enough. If it sizzles slightly, it's ready.
5. Pour two tablespoons of batter into skillet; any more batter would make the crepe too thick. Lift skillet and move it around so that batter reaches all of the edges of skillet. This will thin out batter. Put skillet back on burner for about one minute.
6. Once crepe edges become slightly golden, very carefully use fingers to pull up top of edge of crepe and slide spatula beneath. Get fingers clear and flip crepe with spatula.
7. Continue cooking for 30 seconds. Lift and shake skillet; if crepe moves and does not stick to pan, it's ready to transfer to your plate.
8. Juice second lemon. Add one teaspoon lemon juice onto crepe. Use sieve to dust powdered sugar onto crepe as desired. Roll crepe, then dust with more powdered sugar.Enjoy Your Crepe with Powdered Sugar and Lemon

Crepe Tips
- Use whole milk if possible—it makes the crepes richer.
- Substitute orange or lime zest for the lemon zest for a different flavor.
- The first crepe you make usually isn't as pretty as you might like it; its appearance is often affected by the exact location of the skillet on the burner.
