Mom made this for all the occasions, Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, sometimes birthday's if we begged loud enough. A little sweet, a little lemony. We had it as a side during the big meal (a pallet cleanser), but it is good for breakfast with fruit, light lunch with seafood, and excellent with a sauce. Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 tablespoon fine sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
2/3 cup milk |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest |
1/2 cup dry curd cottage cheese, smooth |
1 egg yolk |
1 teaspoon soft butter |
1 tablespoon sour cream |
melted butter |
Directions:
1. Sift the first four ingredients together and make a well in it.
2. Beat the egg with the milk, water and lemon zest. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir well. The mixture will be lumpy.
3. Butter a small fry pan (or crepe pan if you have one) and using a small gravy ladel (equal to about 2 tablespoons) to portion the batter, pour out about a small crepe. Swirl the pan to thin the crepe out and make about a 6 diameter.
4. Fry over medium heat until the top of the crepe dries out and there is a slight color on the bottom side. Flip the crepe as you would a pancake.
5. As the crepes cook, stack them on a plate and cover them with a clean towel so as to keep them from drying out.
6. Blend the filling ingredients together and mash them with the back of a spoon to ensure that the cottage cheese is smooth.
7. Spread the filling onto the crepe as you would when spreading a sandwich with butter (about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoon of filling/crepe).
8. Roll the crepes up, cut them in 1/2 and layer them in a small buttered casserole.
9. Brush each layer with melted butter.
10. Cover and bake at 250F for 30 minutes.
11. My MIL added a yolk to her crepe, and used all milk as the liquid. She also finely chopped onion and dill into the filling. She served this with a rich mushroom sauce. Yum! and completely different again!
