Here's a basic crepe recipe but when filled with two different ingredients is a treat for the taste buds. This is a more solid kind of crepe as it contains more flour than most crepe recipes. This dish can be served for breakfast or dessert . Read more . If layered properly and served together, the combination of the raspberry-filled crepes just enhances the mild flavor of the cream cheese-flavored crepes. Ingredients:
*crepes |
3 cup all-purpose flour |
6 eggs |
1 1/2 cup whole milk |
1 1/2 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tbs. melted butter |
*filling |
1, 8 oz. cream cheese at room temp |
1 jar of good quality raspberry jam |
Directions:
1. Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium.
2. Spray pan with cooking oil.
3. Drop the crepe mixture onto the heated surface.
4. Using about a 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe.
5. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. (Make it as thin as possible!)
6. Cook each side until the golden brown brown (about 2 minutes for side one - batter will bubble; and 1 minute for side 2).
7. Gently remove and place on a plate.
8. Place waxed paper between cooked crepes to prevent sticking.
9. *I used an 8 inch square pan. You should be able to get 2 layers of crepes.
10. Divide your crepes into two different stacks.
11. Spread 2 TB of jam on half of the crepes and roll up tightly.
12. Do the same with the cream cheese on the other stack of crepes.
13. Place one jam-filled crepe next to a cream cheese-filled crepe and continue to line all of the crepes this way in the pan until the bottom is filled with crepe rolls.
14. Make a second layer of crepes starting with a cream cheese-filled crepe OVER a raspberry-filled crepe.
15. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
16. These can be served warm or cold or even at room temperature.
17. I do not like raspberry jam and in the past, have used the following instead of the raspberry jam:
18. Chocolate spread (ganache, chocolate pudding, chocolate chips melted into ricotta cheese)
19. Apple, lemon, peach and cherry pie filling
20. Chocolate mousse with sweetened whipped cream as the second filling
21. Chocolate mousse in one, vanilla or mocha mousse as the second filling (This is fantastic when served with some caramel sauce and chocolate sauce)
22. A great buffet crepe is to have one crepe filled with cottage cheese and another filled with strawberry jam.
23. The picture is not of my crepes. It comes from 717 Trading Co. just to demonstrate the layered crepes described in my recipe.
