I found a great recipe for crepes on the Food Network. I watch that channel all the time and have come up with many recipes that I would like to try and some that I have tried.
Ingredients:
Crepe batter:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup water
6 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Fruit:
2 cups strawberries, washed
2 cups blackberries, washed
1/3 cup sugar
Splash orange liqueur, optional
Filling:
2 cups fromage blanc
2 cups marscarpone
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
To make the batter: Blend the flour, sugar, and salt in a blender. Then, add the milk, water, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, and process until smooth. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
While batter rests, hull and halve the strawberries and add with the blackberries, sugar and orange liqueur, if using, in a medium bowl; set aside.
Whisk the cheeses with the sugar, orange zest and juice, and the vanilla extract.
Heat an 6-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles briefly on its surface before evaporating. Pour 2 tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl it to coat the skillet evenly. Cook until the batter for about 30 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until just barely golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they cook.
Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on the lower left-hand corner of each crepe. Fold crepe in half, then half again to make a triangle with filling in the tip. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Stack filled crepes neatly on serving platter. The crepes can be prepared a day ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.
To serve:
Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F. Cover crepes with foil and warm in the oven until heated through, about 10 minutes. Spoon the macerated berries over the crepes and serve.
