    CREPES


    Source of Recipe


    unknown--I think Rani Merens gathered them about 2 years ago.
    MAPLE BUTTER For crepes
    1 stick butter
    4 packets sugar substitute
    1 tablespoon (or more) maple extract
    Whip the butter and add the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for later.

    RICOTTA FILLING FOR CREPE
    1/3 cup ricotta cheese
    1 package sugar substitute
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    ¼ teaspoon almond flavoring
    Mix well. This will fill two crepes. Instead of sugar substitute, you can
    use the Strawberry Kiwi or Basic Jam recipe.

    NO FLOUR CREPE
    1 large egg
    1 tablespoon cream
    1 teaspoon oil
    ¼ teaspoon sugar substitute
    1/8 teaspoon vanilla
    Mix well. This will make two crepes. Put in a well buttered no stick frying
    pan and swirl to coat pan cook at medium until top looks dry and flip for a
    few seconds. Put in a plate, add your favorite filling and roll up and
    enjoy.

    CREPES - PROTEIN POWDER
    ¼ cup protein powder
    1 egg
    1/8 teaspoon baking soda
    1 tablespoon vanilla
    ¼ teaspoon almond extract
    ½ cup cream
    Blend ingredients and fry on a non-stick surface with butter or oil. They
    burn easily. Makes 2 six inch crepes.

    VARIATIONS:
    . For seafood crepes, make a white cream sauce with shrimp or crab and use
    as filling
    . For cream cheese crepes, whip cream cheese with orange or lemon flavoring
    (or flavoring of choice) and either serve with cream cheese spread over top
    of crepe or as a filling.


    RICOTTA CREPES
    1 cup ricotta cheese
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 packet sugar substitute
    ¼ cup almond powder (grind almonds in coffee grinder
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    pinch of salt
    2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
    Using blender or food processor, blend all ingredients, except cooking oil,
    until smooth. Using heavy skillet, heat olive oil and drop batter by
    spoonfuls into pan. Size of spoonful depends whether crepe will be filled
    (1-2 tablespoons of batter) or served like a pancake (1/2-1 tablespoon of
    batter). Cook one side until firmed and bubbling and brown on edges, then
    turn and cook second side. Calories per serving: 463 Carbs: 6.3 (0 fiber) g.

    EGG WHITES CREPES
    6 egg whites
    1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    ½ cup cottage cheese
    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 package artificial sweetener

    In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Set
    aside. In another bowl, combine and mix well cottage cheese, vanilla
    extract, and sweetener. Fold cottage cheese mixture into eggs whites gently.
    Melt butter in small frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of
    batter to pan and spread it until it covers bottom (about 4 inches across).
    Cook until crepe sets and appears brown on the bottom. Turn it over and
    brown the other side. Repeat for the rest of the batter. Spread 1 teaspoon
    sour cream on each crepe, roll into cylinder and serve. 4-6 servings.
