SIMPLE CREPE RECIPE WITH PEACHES AND CREAM

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the milk, water, eggs and vanilla extract. Pulse to combine. Add in the flour, sugar and salt and pour the butter on top. Pulse again until all of the ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth. Cover the batter and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• While the batter is sitting, make the filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks have formed. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth, then slowly add in the powdered sugar until combined. Beat in the extracts. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the mixture and stir with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining cream and fold it in gently. Refrigerate the mixture until needed.
• To make the crepes, very lightly butter a small skillet (I use an 8-inch nonstick skillet) and place over medium low heat. Once hot, add about 1/4 cup of batter to the skillet and using your wrist, tilt the pan around to spread the batter, forming an even, thin crepe. Let the batter cook for a minute or two, then loosen the sides with a rubber spatula and flip the crepe over. Cook the second side for another minute or two, then remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, only buttering the pan if the batter starts to stick. (I usually only butter it once in the beginning - sometimes I need to again halfway through, but not usually.)
• To make the peaches, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the sugar and stir to combine, then add in the peaches. Cook until the peaches start to get soft and give up some of their juices and a syrupy sauce is created, a few minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the almond extract.
• To serve, spread some of the cream over a crepe, then fold in half twice. Top with the peaches. I like this best when the peaches are warm, but it's also good when the peaches are cold.

PEACHES AND CREAM CREPES

Steps:

• In bowl combine peaches, sugar and a squirt of lemon. Toss to combine. Spread sour cream over crepe. Top with peaches. Fold into quarters and serve.

BLINTZ CREPES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and set aside. Using a blender, mix the eggs, milk and flour at low speed. Add the orange liquor. Once the batter is well mixed and coats the spoon with a thin film, refrigerate, covered for 1 hour in a pitcher or bowl.
• Stir the batter thoroughly and before making the crepes, test the liquid by dunking a spoon in the mixture; again, it should coat the spoon with a thin film. Adjust by adding milk.
• Using at least two and up to four 7 to 8-inch nonstick pans, spray with oil, and heat the pans over medium-high heat. Pour about one cup of batter to coat one pan. Once covered, pour the batter out and into the next heated pan, pouring the remainder back into the pitcher or bowl. The thin layer of batter that remains on the pans will make a smooth, flexible crepe. When the crepes pull away from the edge of the pan (10 to 30 seconds), remove from the heat, tap them lightly or run a knife across the edge of the pan to release, and invert the crepes on a dry towel to cool. Stir the batter at brief intervals to re-suspend the ingredients.

CREPES WITH CHEESE BLINTZ AND FRESH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Create filling and toppings first.
• BLINTZ: Combine ricotta and sweetener. Cover and place in fridge.
• TOPPING: Combine sour cream and sweetener. Cover and place in fridge.
• FRUIT: Wash strawberries, remove stems and slice. Cover and place in fridge.
• CREPES: Combine all crepe ingredients with a whisk until smooth.
• Heat a lightly greased 6-8 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into center of skillet (use 3 tablespoons batter for an 8-inch skillet). Lift and tilt skillet to spread batter and coat bottom of pan. Return to heat. Cook for 1 minute or until light brown. Turn with a spatula, and cook second side for 30 seconds.
• Slide finished crepes onto paper towels. Spoon equal amount filling down center of each crepe.
• Fold in ends, then sides, roll.
• Top with fresh strawberries, drizzle with sour cream topping. Bon appetite!

FRUIT AND CHEESE BLINTZ OR BREAKFAST CREPES

Steps:

• Combine cottage cheese, yogurt and berries (optional) and set aside.
• Combine eggs, milk, flour, oil and salt, beat until well mixed.
• Heat a lightly greased 8 inch skillet to spread batter.
• Prepare squares of wax paper to transfer cooked crepes.
• Remove well heated skillet from heat and spoon in about 3-4 tablespoons of batter.
• Lift and tilt the skillet to evenly spread the batter around the pan.
• Return to heat and brown on one side.
• Invert over to waxed paper and remove crepe.
• Repeat with remaining batter, occasionally re-grease.
• Spoon 1/6 of filling into the middle of each prepared crepe and roll. This recipe produces thin rolls, adding optional fruit or additional fruit will make them more bulky. (Some times it's fun to lay out the crepes, the filling and other ingredients out, to create your own "fajita" style meal.).

PEACHES AND CREAM, LITERALLY

Steps:

• Cut each peach in half along the crease, twist open, and remove the pit. Peel and slice. Cut slices in half to get roughly 2 cups of sliced peaches.
• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches until coated. Bring syrup back to a light simmer, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl.
• Transfer peaches into a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Divide mixture between serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled and cream has absorbed all the peach flavor, at least 3 hours.

FRUIT-TOPPED CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and milk. In another bowl, mix flour and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour., In a bowl, toss peaches and cherries with sugar. Let stand while preparing blintzes., Heat a lightly greased 6-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn blintz over and cook 15-20 seconds longer or until bottom is cooked. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat cottage, cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until almost smooth. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto each crepe. Fold opposite sides of crepe over filling, forming a rectangular bundle., On a greased griddle, cook blintzes 3 minutes, seam side down. Turn; cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes longer. Top with fruit and, if desired, sour cream.
