Easy Crepes with plum filling

Healthy/tasty breakfast recipe.
Crepes are french thin pancakes.Very easy to make and they are so yummy that you can't stop having them.My 2 year old loved them so much.You can try different combinations of fruits for filling.
You can  make crepes ahead of time and can freeze to use them later.



Ingredients:
For Crepe:
1 cup maida (All purpose flour)
1/4 cup sugar
2-3 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup milk + as needed

For filling:
1 Plum
1/2 Apple
1/4 cup dry fruits of your choice(I used cashews and almonds.
2 tbsp honey/sugar or both + as needed
1/4 tsp cardamom powder (optional)
Pastry cream

Method:
1. Mix maida,sugar and salt. Slowly add milk and make thin batter (consistency should be like heavy cream/dosa batter).
2. Now add melted butter and vanilla essence and mix well.

3. Cover with lid and keep batter in fridge for half an hour.
4. While batter is sitting in fridge make filling.
5. Cut plums and apples in small cubes.
6. Heat a pan and add fruits ,sugar/honey. I used honey but as per your choice you can add honey/sugar/even both.
7. Cook for 5 to 10 min till fruits get cooked and turn thick.
8. Mix cardamom powder and dry fruits to filling. Filling is done. Keep it aside.
9. Now make crepes.Heat a non-stick pan  in medium heat.Apply some oil and wipe the pan.
10. Pour spoonful batter on pan and rotate in circular motion to form a thin circle.


11. When crepe start to peel off, turn it over and cook on other side too.
12. Cook till you see golden spots both side.Now take it off and keep aside. Now make more crepes.
13. When they are cool enough to handle apply pastry creme/any other spread you like.You can also use thick custard instead of pastry cream. 
14. Now cover this with other crepe.Again apply cream and place filling all over the crepe.Then garnish with some chopped dry fruits.
