Preparation
Step 1
CRÊPES:
Combine all ingredients for crêpes in a food processor, blender or bowl. Mix until you have a smooth thin batter. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
Heat a 10” (25 cm) non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush pan lightly with oil. Add about ½ cup (125 mL) batter to pan. Swirl batter around pan and pour excess back into bowl so crêpe will be very thin. Cook until bottom browns, 2-3 minutes, and turn crêpe over to cook other side. Flip out onto clean tea towel. Repeat until all batter is used. You should have 10-14 crêpes. The first crêpe usually does not come out right. Don’t worry, just toss out the first one and continue on.
FILLING:
Whip cream in a large bowl until thick and cream holds its shape. Beat in vanilla and zest.
ASSEMBLY:
Place 1 crêpe on cake plate. Spread with thin layer of whipped cream. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp (30 mL) Toffee Bits. Repeat until crêpes and filling are used up. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 2 hours to overnight. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
TIPS:
• Crêpes can be filled with ice cream or fruit.
