- Mum, I had such a beautiful dream ... - my young man murmured in the sunny summer morning – I dreamed that you made crepes like the ones I like with cheese and chocolate sauce...
You have to be careful about your dreams, because dreams can sometimes come true, so I made the crepes for dinner. I don't like crepes with sweet fillings. I used to make crepes with a different filling for myself. My children like them most with sweet cheese and chocolate sauce. In the summer I sneak in seasonal fruits: huckleberries, strawberries or sliced peaches. Crepes like this are a classical dish so today here is a recipe for somebody who has just begun their cooking adventure.
Ingredients:
dough for 12 crepes (pan 20cm):
300ml of milk
300ml of sparkling water
100ml of oil
1 egg
8 heaped tablespoons of flour
pinch of salt
filling:
250g of white cheese
150g of 32% cream (or natural yoghurt)
4 teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
additionally:
100g of 32% cream (or natural yoghurt)
2 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of dark cocoa
2 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of water
some fruit for decoration
Mix the milk, water, egg, oil and salt together. Add the flour little by little and mix with a mixer to make smooth and runny dough (if the texture isn't right, add flour or water). Tip the portion of dough into the pan and spread it by moving the pan around. Fry the dough on one side, then flip it over when the raw dough has gone and fry for a while. Put it on a plate.
Make the filling from the cheese, cream, sugar and vanilla sugar. I knead it with a fork, but you can use a blender if you like smooth filling. Mix it up with the fruit.
Melt the butter with the sugar, cocoa and water in a small saucepan. Boil for a while to blend the ingredients. Set it aside.
Put the filling on every crepe and roll it up. My impatient husband will snatch up such crepes and in a little he is waiting for another one. My children like them lightly fried in a pan, sprinkled with cream and chocolate sauce and decorated with fruit. Choose whatever you prefer.
Enjoy your meal!
