Easy Peanut Butter & Jam Crêpes

This is a classic. Peanut Butter & Jam, most known for toast, but even better on pancakes. 

Thanks to Ed (Rocket & Squash on Instagram) for creating this tangy, nutty, pancake perfect recipe.

How to make 8-10 Crêpes:

  • 100g plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 300ml milk
  • Generous pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 25g salted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)

For the jam (yep, you're making it!)

  • 150g fresh raspberries
  • Juice ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

The rest

  • A big drizzle of your favourite Peanut Butter
  • Fresh Raspberries
  • Natural yoghurt 
  1. Either bung the flour, eggs, milk salt and sugar in a blender and whizz up. Or (better) whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and eggs, add the milk slowly and keep whisking until smooth.
  2. Ideally leave that to rest for an hour or more (in the fridge if more!).
  3. When ready to cook, warm the butter and whisk that in.
  4. Meanwhile, chuck the raspberries, lemon juice & icing sugar in a food processor, blitz until smooth then pass that through a fine sieve, pushing the liquid through with the back of a spoon. Taste & add a little more sugar if it's a bit too tangy.
  5. Cook the crepes as you always do! Melt butter over a medium hot pan, fry about ¾ of a ladle per pancake & wait until the surface is beginning to show small dots with firm edges before flipping. 
  6. Top with a generous amount of peanut butter, a drizzle of jam, dots of yoghurt & fresh raspberries. Mix up the amounts of each until you've found the perfect combo.
