Praline Pecan Crepes

Yield: 8 servings (2 cups sauce)

Ingredients

Crepes

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon butter

Sauce

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, baking powder and salt in small mixer bowl.
2. Add all remaining crepes ingredients except 1 teaspoon butter. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes).
3. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in 6 or 8-inch skillet until sizzling. For each crepe, pour about 1/4 cup batter into skillet; immediately rotate skillet until thin film covers bottom. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned (1 to 2 minutes). Loosen edges of crepe from pan with wide spatula; turn over. Continue cooking until lightly browned (2 to 3 minutes). Place crepe on plate. Repeat with remaining batter, placing wax paper between each. Cover crepes. Set aside.
4. Melt 1/4 cup butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat; stir in 1/4 cup sugar, brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in all remaining sauce ingredients. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken (5 to 6 minutes).
5. Meanwhile, fold each cr pe in half; fold in half again to form triangles. When sauce begins to thicken arrange crepes in skillet. Cook, spooning sauce over crepes occasionally, until crepes are heated through (3 to 4 minutes).
6. Serve warm crepes with sauce.
