These crepes are stuffed with a smooth cottage cheese and tapioca filling, then topped with your favourite preserves and maple syrup. Makes great breakfast/brunch or dessert. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
3/4 cup milk |
1/2 cup water |
1 cup flour |
3 tbsp. melted butter, or vegetable oil |
2 tbsp. sugar |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1 tbsp. of your favourite liqueur(optional) |
extra butter for coating the pan, or non-stick spray |
for the filling |
1 cup cooked tapioca pudding |
1 cup cottage cheese |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1/3 cup golden raisins |
zest of 1 lemon |
toppings |
maple syrup, your favourite jam or preserves, powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine all the ingredients(except for filling and topping) in a blender, or use a hand-held blender and process until batter is smooth. Batter will be thin.
2. Note*: it's important to place the batter in a fridge at this point for about 1 hour. This allows the air bubbles to settle and helps crepes not tear during cooking.
3. Heat a medium non-stick or cast iron pan. Use medium heat setting. Add butter to coat, or spray some non-stick oil. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan around, to spread evenly. Cook for about a minute. Run the spatula around the outside edges of a crepe to loosen it, then flip. This may take some practice, but you'll get it soon! If you let your batter sit in a fridge for an hour, you have nothing to worry about. Cook on another side just for about 15 more seconds. The other side cooks a lot faster. You can gently lift the corner of a crepe with your spatula to check for doneness. Remove to the plate.Continue until all the batter is gone, making sure you butter the pan every time for the new crepe.
4. FOR THE FILLING:
5. Combine all the filling ingredients together. Set aside.
6. To assemble the crepes, place about 2 tbsp. of filling on one half of the crepe. You can either fold them like envelopes or triangles, or simply roll them jelly roll style (refer to pictures).
7. Top the stuffed crepes with a tsp. of your favourite jam, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
