Source of Recipe
By The Dairy Farmers of Canada
List of Ingredients
2 eggs
1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla
3/4 cup (180 mL) milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 cup (250 mL) pear, peeled and grated
3/4 cup (180 mL) flour
1 pinch of ground nutmeg
Butter for frying the crepes
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Canadian Gouda, grated
Recipe
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and the vanilla. Stir in the milk, followed by the melted butter and the pear.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and nutmeg. Make a well in the centre and pour in the liquid mixture. Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing well to obtain a smooth consistency.
In a frying pan, melt a little butter over medium heat and pour in the batter by spoonful about 2 tbsp (30 mL), making about 20 small, thin crepes. Flatten as needed with the back of the spoon. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until the crepes are nicely golden.
Pile the crepes into stacks of 4 or 5, alternating each crepe with the cheese. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt. Serve immediately with spicy stewed fruit.
