Yummy Crepe Breakfast - Lunch - or Dessert

Crepe Recipe: Makes about 25 crepes

5 room temperature eggs - 1 cup of flour - 1 cup of lukewarm water. Mix ingredients together with a wire whisk in a 1 quart vessel.

Oil a small cast iron skillet or a small (8") teflon coated frying pan. Wipe the oil around the pan with a paper towel. Heat the pan on medium heat. My ancient recipe says to use a whiskey glass (1 oz.) to measure the batter into the pan but you can use a ladle or spoon - remembering that you want a very small amount of batter in the pan because the crepe should be very thin. Quickly, swirl the pan to get the batter spread around on the bottom to make a round shaped crepe. It just takes a few minutes to cook side one. Turn crepe over to cook side two (this side takes even less time than side one).

As the crepes are finished, pile them one on top of the other on a plate. When you're finished making crepes, you can wrap the whole pile in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. They freeze well. Divide them up in serving sized batches to freeze.

With a couple of the crepes, heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, slathered with Nutella, layered with sliced bananas and strawberries covering one half of the crepe, I folded over the crepe and drizzled chocolate sauce over the top.

I had them just like this (the dessert format).  But for breakfast and/or lunch, you could spread a layer of yogurt over the Nutella before you layer on the fruit.

Though dessert is my favorite way to have crepes, they are quite versatile. Savory fillings would make a lovely lunch or dinner.

Petite Lemon Tarts




Ingredients:


package of frozen mini phyllo tarts

jar of lemon curd (jams and jelly section of grocery store) or make lemon pie filling from a box

nice big juicy blueberries

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbs. of JustWhites (dried egg whites) plus 2 tbs. water


Explanation: we use dried egg whites because its not safe to use raw egg whites. Our local supermarkets carry the phyllo tart shells in boxes of 15. This recipe will make at least 30 and perhaps 45 mini tarts.


As they say in Canada – mode ‘d employ


Rinse the berries and roll them on a towel to dry. Mix the dried egg white powder with the water and whip up ‘til it looks like a whipped fresh egg white. Toss the berries in the egg white, a few at a time. Allow the surplus egg white to drip off, then immediately roll them in the sugar. Lay them on parchment paper to dry. The sugar will adhere because of the egg white. When the egg white dries, you’ll have a sugar crusted berry. We started at the finish line. This is the final step on your tiny tarts, but we need dry berries. While berries dry, begin to fill the tart shells.


I leave the phyllo cups in the plastic grid they are packed in while filling them.


If you’re using lemon curd, put about 1/2 tsp. in each plyllo cup, filling it to the brim.


If you’ll use the lemon pie filling, prepare it according to package directions, cool it a bit, then do the same as for lemon curd.


Top each tiny tart with a sugared berry, pressing it down a bit.


Voila !!! You have a charming dessert that people will think you slaved over all day.


I serve these for “tea” along with an array of small finger foods. They are perfect to bring to women’s meetings at church. I’ve served them at bridal showers and any event where you’ll be serving several desserts that can be eaten in one bite.


Pay a visit to the shops featured on this post and savor the delicious "lemonade" they made with their "lemons".
