Submitted by 2Bleu

"Another recipe we found hand written and don't know the origins of. It includes a smear of orange marmalade which is a nice surprise upon cutting open the crepes."

ingredients

• Crepes

• 2 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon butter

• Blueberry Stuffing

• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1⁄2 cup light sour cream

• Rhubarb Compote

• 2 cups fresh rhubarb
• 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• Other Ingredients Needed

• 1 tablespoon orange marmalade (for filling)
• 4 fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

directions

1. CREPES: Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Whisk in the salt, sugar, and flour. Set aside for 30 minutes.
2. Melt about 1/2-teaspoon butter in a nonstick 8 to 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When it foams, pour or ladle in about 2 tablespoons of batter.
3. Lift and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom. Set pan on the burner and cook just until set and the underside is lightly browned.
4. Using a spatula or your fingers, flip and cook until the other side is lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and continue with remaining batter.
5. BLUEBERRY STUFFING: In a bowl, gently fold together the blueberries, maple sugar and sour cream.
6. RHUBARB COMPOTE: Place the rhubarb, orange juice concentrate, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan and cook until the fruit falls apart and the mixture thickens.
7. TO SERVE: place the crepes on a platter and smear with marmalade. Place a spoonful of the blueberry filling down the center and roll up the crepe. Repeat with remaining crepes. Top off with some rhubarb compote and mint.

I also used fresh OJ and had to add water to the compote and extra sugar. I am not a huge fan of rhubarb and like it sweet.I also used frozen rhubarb The crepes are super easy to make. I chickened out using sour cream and used a vanilla yougurt. All in all great recipe. Made for Photo Tag

Wow! This was really tasty. I used plain yoghurt instead of sour cream, and used fresh orange juice instead of frozen concentrate, which seemed to work out fine. I did have to add a bit of water to the compote as it cooked to stop it sticking though. I also used lime marmalade instead of orange. These pancakes were so delicious, it's a gorgeous combination of flavours. I'm usually a rather hungry person in the morning, so I'd put this as 2 servings rather than 4. Overall: delicious!
