Instructions

How To Make The Crepe

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Make a well in the center, then add the eggs, oil, water, and milk.
  3. Stir with a whisk until smooth or place all ingredients in a blender and buzz until smooth.
  4. Let stand for at least 1 hour, longer is better, even overnight.

How To Make The Filling

  1. Brown the ground beef in a pan. Place in a bowl, discard the fat and scrape pan.
  2. Place olive oil in pan, add the onions and soften them without browning.
  3. Put the meat back in the pan.
  4. Add the beer and, if needed, add a little water to cover the meat.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper and add the bouquet garni or pepper.
  6. Simmer the meat uncovered until the liquid is reduced.
  7. While the liquid in the ground beef mixture is reducing, make an additional flavorful sauce to add to the beef.
  8. Heat the vinegar with the sugar in a small saucepan until it bubbles and forms a dark caramel (watch constantly to prevent burning).
  9. Stir in two tablespoons of boiling water and then add this mixture to the pan, this gives it a good color and added flavor!

Putting Crepes Together

  1. Lay a crepe on a plate.
  2. Place a spoonful of the filling down the center of the crepe.
  3. Fold one side of the crepe over the filling, then the other side.
  4. Lay in a casserole dish.
  5. Continue until all crepes are filled.
  6. Sprinkle cheese on the crepes and place in the oven to melt the cheese and keep the crepes warm until serving.
  7. Enjoy!
