Ooo i found a yummy recipe!

Macha Crepe Serves 6

Ingredients

Crêpes
1 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
Olive oil spray for coating crêpe pan
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Garnish: 12 fresh figs, cut into wedges
6 mint sprigs

Matcha-Cream Filling
1 pint heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 scant tablespoon matcha or green-tea powder

Instructions

Crêpes

Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl, and make a well in the center. Put egg, milk, olive oil, and vanilla in the well. Using a wooden spoon, gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients. Pour mixture into a blender, and liquefy. Let batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat a nonstick crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Spray pan with olive oil. Ladle 1/3 cup batter onto the center of the pan, lift the pan from the heat, and quickly swirl the batter to evenly coat the pan. Return to heat, and when small bubbles begin to form and the edges begin to brown and lift slightly, flip the crêpe over using a wood blade or heatproof rubber spatula. After 1 minute, remove the crêpe, setting it face down on a plate. Repeat, stacking finished crêpes and separating them with wax paper. Set aside to cool. Makes approximately 10 crêpes; can be made ahead.

Matcha-Cream Filling

1 pint heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 scant tablespoon matcha or green-tea powder
Whip cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside a small portion of the cream.

Using a small wire whisk or bamboo tea-whisk, beat matcha into 2 tablespoons boiling water until if forms a thick, syruplike consistency. Add tea solution to whipped cream, and blend gently. The cream should not be very sweet, but you can add more sugar to taste.

Assembly: Re-stack crêpes, discarding wax paper and placing the most attractive one on top. Carefully cut the stack into six wedges. Fill each wedge of mille-feuille by spreading small amounts of green-tea cream layer by layer. Place a dollop of the reserved whipped cream on each piece. If you like, you can garnish with fig wedges and a sprig of mint for an artistic presentation.

French Crepes Recipe: 5-10 mins

Today's meal was french crepe both as main course and dessert. You can fill it literally with anything you want as long as it is small and can be rolled up. I ate french crepe for 3 days in a row for my lunch, and midnight snack because it was so good. Oh and cooking time is under 5 mins if you make these crepes ahead of schedule and you can eat these cold straight out of the fridge.

RECIPE: French Crepe (Basic)
Tip: make double the amount and refrigerate so you can make this same dish in under 5 mins aka the time it takes to fill

I'm lazy so I go light on salt & sugar so I use the same crepe batter for main course and dessert. inevitably you'll eat more of one type and therefore run out so its better to have a general crepe base than a sweet or salty base.

Savory Filling: anything goes from gourmet to spam. Here's what I ate for the last 3 days.
curry chicken with potatoes & carrots, ham & cheese, shrimp salad with lettuce, mint, tomato, peanut sauce.

Dessert Filling: Nutella, peanut butter, jelly, jam with fresh fruit, whipped cream, smores type
if making dessert crepes you can flavor your batter with more sugar and add in syrups like chocolate, strawberry etc or your favorite liquore.
