A Flavors of America recipe. These sound scrumptious. Times don't include 1 hour resting of batter. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup water, plus |
2 tablespoons water |
4 large eggs |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
1 pinch salt |
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint |
1/4 cup cream cheese |
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
9 tablespoons strawberry preserves |
Directions:
1. In a food processor blender, blend the flour, water, butter, and salt for about 5-10 seconds. Scrape the sides of the container down and blend for another 20 seconds.
2. Transfer batter to a bowl and let rest for 1 hour. Stir in the herbs.
3. Heat a 6-7 inch skillet over medium heat, sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour batter into the pan to coat (very thin) bottom of pan. Heat crepe for 1-2 minutes or until loose from the pan. Flip over and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients together until well blended.
5. With each crepe place 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center and fold over once and then again (like an envelope).
6. Place on a baking dish with non-stick spray and bake all crepes in a preheated 325°F for approximately 20 minutes or until heated through.
7. Serve with whip cream or ice cream. Garnish with mint sprigs.
