Dessert Crepes from my yard sale Crepe Maker

Here is a recipe for Dessert Crepes.....they are delicious!  Growing up, I never knew how amazing crepes were.  I happened to randomly buy a vintage (circa 1970s) Oster Creperie maker at a yard sale a few years ago and now I am hooked.  The Creperie maker came with a handy booklet with tons of really awesome (and some really weird) recipes.  Here is a basic dessert crepe recipe pulled from the booklet, though tweaked a bit because it is in vintage-language.  This recipe will make approximately 10-12 crepes.

First things first, make your crepe batter.  Ingredients:

1 1/2 milk

2 tblsp oil

3 eggs

1 1/2 flour

1/8 teas salt

1/2 tblsp vanilla (more if you like...)

Combine all ingredients until mixed together well.

Consistency will be like a really runny pancake batter...try to get out most of the clumps. Place in the fridge until you're ready for it, just stir before using.

Next, make the filling for the crepes, I used a cheese blintz recipe...Ingredients: 

2cups/1lb of ricotta cheese (can use full fat or reduced fat, tastes just the same)

3 oz of softened cream cheese

2 tblsp sugar

1 egg yolk

1 teas vanilla

Beat ingredients together.  It might be a little clumpy, that is ok.  

Place in the fridge until you're ready to use it.

When you're ready for this magic to happen, get your crepe machine hot and ready (OR you can make crepes in a regular frying pan, but I am not sure how that process works, maybe google it? :-)  )  

Pour the batter (NOT the filling) into a shallow pan, we used a ceramic pie dish.  Dip the crepe maker upside down into the dish, dip it 2-3 times but be sure not to overdo it.

 The Creperie is a wonderful thing...I see them at yard sales and thrift stores all the time.

This doesn't take a long time.  Get a flat spatula or tool of some sort to get the crepe off the pan and flip over to brown the other side.  Immediately toss it onto a plate.  If you have two people, it is easiest to fill with the cheese filling right away, but you can do this later as well.  When you're ready to fill the crepes, place 3 spoonfuls of filling in each crepe, folding it like a weird burrito.  See pictures if that is confusing.

Add any fruit topping you like and top with whipped cream.  MMM MMM good!! Enjoy :-)
