Instructions
-
Prepare the Crepe Batter: Whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add flour, salt, and lemon zest; whisk until smooth. Let sit for 30 minutes.
-
Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter or spray. Pour a small amount of batter, swirling to coat the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more. Keep warm and repeat with remaining batter.
-
Make the Chamomile Suzette Syrup: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add honey and chamomile tea, simmer for 3-5 minutes. Strain the tea leaves. Stir in Meyer lemon juice and zest, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
-
Assemble the Crepes: Fold crepes into quarters and place on serving plates. Drizzle with chamomile syrup, top with Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and fresh berries/citrus.
Notes
- Syrup Variations: Substitute chamomile tea with lavender or jasmine tea for different flavors.
- Fruit Options: Use peaches, strawberries, or oranges as crepe toppings for variety.
- Dairy-Free: Replace milk with almond/oat milk and butter with a dairy-free alternative. Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
