Vegetarian Fast and Fancy


List of Ingredients

FILLING:
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
8 ounces lowfat cream cheese
2 tablespoons lowfat sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 cup yellow raisins

CREPES:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
3 eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup water
1 pinch salt


Recipe

For filling, beat together cottage cheese and cream cheese until blended. Add remaining ingredients and beat until blended. Divide mixture between 16 crepes. Roll crepes up, jelly roll fashion, and place in one layer, seam side down, in a greased baking pan. (If you do not own a 12x16 inch pan, you will have to use two smaller ones.) Bake in a 350 ° oven for about 15 minutes or until heated through. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a tablespoon of strawberries in syrup. Makes 16 crepes.

For crepes, combine all crepe ingredients in a bowl and beat until blended. Heat a 7" skillet and butter it with a paper towel. Pan should be hot, but butter should not brown. A drop of water splashed in pan should skitter around. Pour about 1/8 cup of batter into pan. Quickly tilt and turn the pan so that the bottom is completely covered with batter. Pour out any excess batter. Place the pan back on the heat and continue cooking crepe for about 45 seconds or until top is dry. Turn and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Remove crepe onto a platter. Heat pan and start again. Makes 16 crepes.
