Crepes With Oranges And Almonds Recipes

MEYER LEMON RICOTTA CREPES WITH CANDIED ALMONDS

Steps:

• For the candied almonds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds, sugar and a splash of water and stir to combine. Cook until the sugar has melted and the nuts begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Spread the nuts out on the parchment and cool on a baking rack until the sugar hardens, about 15 minutes.
• For the ricotta: Stir together the ricotta, zest, sugar and cream in a bowl until light and fluffy.
• For the crepes: Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the milk, zest, butter and salt and whisk until combined. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat a 6- to-8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat; spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with clarified butter. Ladle in a scant 1/4 cup of the crepe batter; swirl the pan and cook until the bottom sets and turns light golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and continue cooking until the bottom is light golden brown, another 20 seconds or so. Transfer to a plate. Repeat and stack, keeping the cooked crepes warm in the oven.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta on each crepe, roll up the crepes and serve with a sprinkling of candied almonds.

ORANGE-ANISE CREPES

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, milk, orange juice, anise, and flour until smooth. Refrigerate overnight.
• To cook the crepes, melt a little butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat; brush the butter evenly over the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the batter, tilt the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Cook until the batter begins to firm up and bubble, when lightly browned, flip over, and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 4 minutes total. Repeat with remaining batter. To serve, sprinkle crepes with sugar.

ORANGE BLOSSOM CREPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, blend cream cheese, milk and almond extract, and stir in finely chopped almonds.
• Spread onto center of cooked crepes, roll up, and set aside.
• In large skillet or chafing dish, stir sugar and lemon juice into melted butter.

• Dessert Crepe Batter:.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk milk and water thoroughly with beaten eggs.
• Gradually add flour, whisking constantly until smooth.
• Add remaining ingredients, whisking constantly, and mix until smooth.
• Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow air bubbles to escape.
• Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
• This batter has a tendency to stick to the crepe pan while cooking due to the sugar, so use a little extra oil on the crepe pan.
• To cook, spray a nonstick crepe pan with nonstick spray, and heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances when it hits the pan.
• Ladle about 2-3 Tbsp of batter into pan, and swirl around until it completely coats the bottom of the pan.
• If you have any excess batter, just dump it back into the bowl.
• Cook just until the edges of the crepe begin to look dry and a little crisp.
• Turn over, and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds longer.
• Turn out onto a towel to cool, and repeat for the next crepe.
• It should not be necessary to separate the crepes to prevent sticking, but you may, if desired.
• Recipe makes about a dozen crepes, but I usually double it and store the extra crepes in the freezer.
• Just wrap the crepes in a couple paper towels, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freezer for up to 6 months.
• Makes about 12-14 7" or 20- 24 5" crepes per recipe multiple.

COTTAGE CHEESE CREPES WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
• In a medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in almonds. Dollop 2 tablespoons cheese mixture on the short end of each crepe half; carefully roll into a tight cylinder.
• Place crepes, seam side down and 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet. Bake until warmed through and beginning to brown on edges, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat jam and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat (or in the microwave) until jam is liquefied; whisk to combine. With a thin-edge metal spatula, carefully transfer 2 crepes to each of four plates. Drizzle with apricot sauce; sprinkle with reserved almonds. Serve immediately.

ORANGE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER CREPES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add the flour mixture in thirds, whisking until smooth after each addition. Knead 1 squeeze pack of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter in your hands until softened, then add half of the squeeze pack to the crepe batter and whisk until totally smooth. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with nonstick spray. Add ¼ cup of the crepe batter, tilting the pan until the batter coats the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 minute, until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 crepes total.
• Use a sieve to dust a crepe evenly with cocoa powder. Fold in half, then in half again, to create a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
• Arrange each crepe on a plate and drizzle with the remaining 1½ squeeze packs of Justin's® Maple Almond Butter (run the squeeze packs under warm water if the consistency is too thick to drizzle) and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon orange zest. Garnish with the orange slices.
