Homemade Lemon Curd Crepes

Never Fail Lemon Curd
  • 6 tablespoons soft butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Cream together butter and sugar in stand mixer. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time while mixing on low speed, then add yolks.  Continue to beat on low for another minute or two. mixture should be smooth and creamy light yellow. Next, add the lemon juice and continue to beat on low speed until incorporated.  Things turn pretty ugly at this point, the mixture will be lumpy and look curdled, fear not, forge ahead.
Transfer the lemon curd to a medium sized saucepan and place over low heat.   Stir until the mixture is heated through and no longer has a curdled appearance.  Increase the heat to medium and stir constantly for the next 12 minutes until thickened.  Remove from heat and allow to cool with cling wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the curd.  This will prevent it forming a skin on top. Once cool decant to storage container of your choice.  This keeps about a week in the fridge, it also freezes well.


Quick & Easy Crepe
Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tbsp. canola oil or coconut oil
1 tbsp. sugar or coconut palm sugar
1 c. flour or whole wheat flour
1 1/3 c. almond milk

Instructions
  • 1
    Combine all ingredients in a blender or bowl and use a hand mixer. Blend on low speed until well combined, and smooth. Crepe batter will be a very thin consistency and easily pourable. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 c. of crepe batter into the pan; twirl in a circular motion to coat evenly with batter. Let cook about thirty to sixty seconds, or until the edges of the batter bubble slightly, and it's easy to slide a spatula under the edge of the crepe. Flip crepe and cook another fifteen to thirty seconds. Remove from pan and stack on a plate.
