Recipe Notes

-Just 1 tsp of almond extract provides a TON of amaretto flavor!  Add or subtract to your liking.

-If you will be using actual amaretto liqueur, the substitution ratio is about:

2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur = 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

(You can also sub in amaretto liqueur in place of the almond milk for more kick.)

-After pouring the batter onto the hot pan, be sure the crepe is as thin as possible, you can use the back of a spoon to help out with this.  These won’t roll together as smoothly if you make them too thick.

–Customize your fillings!  Add as much or as little of them as you want!  Completely up to you!

-Some “healthier” substitutions to use instead of homemade whipped cream is low fat greek yogurt or low fat cottage cheese.   Not recommended by me, flavor-wise, but these 2 options are a great source of protein.

-Be sure to grease up the pan with some olive oil after each crepe is done for easier flipping.

-A quicker way to make the blueberry compote, take frozen blueberries and melt them down in the microwave, about a minute or so, until berries are soft, squishy, and can easily be mashed with a fork.   If too hot, let cool for a bit before you throw them into a blender.  Add some water to help the blender break it down some.   Blend until smooth.  That’s it!
