PreparationIn a blender combine milk and eggs Mix on medium-high speed until foamy about 10 seconds Turn blender to low speed and remove feed top With blender going add sugar and salt Replace feed top and blend on high speed for a few seconds then turn blender back to low In the same manner add butter brandy and vanilla replacing feed top and blending for several seconds after each addition Turn blender off Add flour all at once and blend until just combined
Place crpe pan over moderately high heat With flexible spatula spread a tiny amount of butter in pan an alternative method is to brush the pan with melted butter using a pastry brush and heat until butter just begins to smoke Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into the pan As you pour quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread a thin layer of batter across the bottom Pour in just enough batter to cover the pan
Cook crpe over moderately high heat until bubbles just begin to form on the exposed surface about one to two minutes Lift up the edge to check the cooking process if the crpe starts to burn before it is cooked through turn down the heat If it is not nicely browned after two minutes turn up the heat
When underside of crpe is browned flip and cook another minute or less until other side is browned Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven loosely covered with foil
Grease pan with a very small amount of butter and repeat process Continue until all batter is used stacking cooked crpes on a plate in the oven To serve sprinkle each crpe with sugar or spread with jelly and fold or roll up
Note
Making the batter for these crpes is relatively easy but cooking them can be laborious Once you have a gotten a feel for the procedure you will probably have to tinker with the heat and cooking time since every pan behaves slightly differently you can save time by using two pans at once Stagger the process so you are pouring the batter into one pan while a crpe is cooking in the other This way you will be able to closely attend to both but will finish in half the time

5 eggs

1 dash salt

BAKE 50 minute to 1 hour or until knife inserted near center comes out clean Cool Carefully remove flan from water Cool on wire rack

continue cooking

If you have popsicle molds fill them leaving some room at the top to allow for expansion set the lids in place and insert the sticks through the holes
If you dont have popsicle molds fill small cups or empty yogurt tubs about 3/4 full stretch plastic or foil across the top and make a small slit to insert sticks Freeze until firmly set 3 to 4 hours To remove the pops first remove the lids or wrap then squeeze the sides of the molds twisting them slightly to dislodge the pop If necessary rinse the outside of the molds under hot water first
carefully distribute filling mixture into pastry-lined muffin cups
Fill each pastry cup 3/4s of the way full
The amount needed does vary because there is no standard to the size of mini-muffin cups mine are just about the smallest Ive seen and I use about a 3/4 tsp of filling per tassie
Bake for 20-25 minutes
Immediately
and very carefully using the tip of a pointed knife
gently knudge out each tassie out of its cup and transfer to a rack to cool
If they cool in the pan too long
they are more difficult to remove
Your first couple may break those are the ones I eat on the spot- the rewards of making them
but you will soon learn just the right move to remove them perfectly
