Crepe Recipe

Ingredients:

2 Cup flour

4 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cup low-fat milk

1 cup water

4 large eggs

Directions:

Mix flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.  In another bowl, combine milk, eggs and water.  Mix together.  Refrigerate for an hour.  When ready, coat non-stick pan with spray and heat. Take ¼ cup of mixture and put in pan, swirling around to make circle.  Cook about 1 minute – if it can be shaken loose, it’s ready – then flip and cook about 30 seconds on other side.  Repeat with remaining mixture.  Crepes can be used at once or frozen for later use.


Chicken and Asparagus Filling

Ingredients:

2 cups diced, cooked chicken

2 tablespoons finely diced onions

4 tablespoons flour

1-cup low fat milk

¾ cup chicken broth

¼ cup dry white wine

¼ teaspoon dried dill

Salt to taste

¼ cup low fat milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Dice chicken and place in a medium bowl; set aside.  Sautee onions in a bit of butter or spray in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.  Meanwhile, combine 1-cup milk and flour, then add to onions, stirring until smooth.  Add broth, wine, and dill and simmer over medium to low heat until thickened, about 4 minutes.   Add ½ of milk mixture to the chicken and mix to coat.  Fill each crepe with about 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture, roll, and place in a 9X13 baking dish, seam side down.  Repeat with remaining chicken mixture (you will have leftover crepe batter for dessert crepes).  Thin out remaining milk mixture with the ¼ cup milk and pour over crepes. Bake for 20 minutes.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 apples, peeled and roughly diced

1-tablespoon brown sugar

¾ teaspoon cinnamon

1-tablespoon water

Powdered Sugar

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, until apples are soft.  Place filling in crepe.  Top with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
