LEMON CREPES WITH ALMOND MASCARPONE

Steps:

• For the lemon crepes: Whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the flour, sugar, salt and lemon zest and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• For the almond mascarpone filling: Combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar and vanilla extract in a separate medium bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chopped almonds.
• Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of the butter and swirl the pan until the butter is melted and coats the pan (you can also use a pastry brush to brush softened butter into the pan). Add 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom with an even thin coating of batter. Cook for 2 minutes, gently flip the crepe and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove to a plate and continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
• To serve, place 1 heaping tablespoon almond mascarpone filling on one quarter of a crepe. Gently fold the crepe in half and then in half again making sort of a triangle. Serve 2 per plate, sprinkle with blueberries and dust with more lemon zest and powdered sugar. Drizzle with chocolate, if desired.

LEMON CREPES WITH HONEY AND FROMAGE BLANC

Steps:

• Spread some fromage blanc or creme fraiche on a large crepe. Sprinkle with a pinch of finely grated lemon zest, and drizzle with honey to taste. Fold crepe in half, and drizzle with more honey. Repeat to make more crepes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, so the balance of sweet and sour can be easily adjusted.

LEMON CREPES

Steps:

• Bring 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat; add 6 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, whisking until butter is completely melted.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, and eggs. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Whisk in butter mixture. Pour batter through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard lumps. Transfer batter to an airtight container; refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Lightly coat a 6-to 7-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with melted butter. Heat over medium heat until just starting to smoke. Remove pan from heat; pour 2 to 3 tablespoons batter (depending on size of pan) in center. Swirl to cover bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low; return pan to heat. Cook until edges of crepe turn golden and center is dry, about 45 seconds. Flip crepe; cook until underside is brown in spots, about 45 seconds more.
• Slide crepe onto an ovenproof plate; cover with foil, and transfer to oven. Repeat process with remaining batter, coating pan with more butter as needed.
• Fold each crepe into quarters to form a triangle. Arrange 3 crepes on each plate; drizzle with lemon-caramel sauce and garnish with candied lemon slices.

• Set aside for 1 hour.
• When ready, melt butter in a crepe (or omelette) non-stick pan and then add the melted butter to the crepe mix and whisk well to combine.
• Using a small ladle, put some of the mix into the hot pan (over a medium heat) and then swirl to spread and cook until bubbles begin the appear and then flip and cook other side.
• Continue till all mix is used, you may have to use a little bit of extra butter to grease the pan depending on your pan.
• To serve fold the crepes up in triangles, pour a little lemon juice over the top and sprinle with a little sugar or fill with seasonal fruit and a little cream and roll and above all enjoy.

HONEY VANILLA FROMAGE BLANC

Steps:

• Stir the fromage blanc, cream, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble, spoon the fromage blanc mixture into shallow bowls. Place the fruit artfully on top and drizzle the dessert with raspberry sauce. Serve with extra raspberry sauce on the side. I find that some people like it less sweet with just a drizzle of sauce while others prefer more sauce.
