Strawberry-Sour Cream Crepes

Submitted by melissulactosetoler

"This is a great recipe that came from a paper back cookbook called "Wonderful Ways to Prepare Crepes & Pancakes" by Jo Ann Shirley. I just wanted to post it here for safekeeping and to share with friends across the world! I like to use a non-fat plain yogurt instead of the sour cream for a slightly more healthy version."

ingredients

• French Crepes

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2⁄3 cup water
• 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Crepes:

2. Beat the eggs and add to the milk and water.
3. Sift flour with the salt and gradually add to the egg and milk mixture.
4. Add the melted butter and blend thoroughly.
5. If mixing by hand, strain the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps.
6. Allow to stand for at least an hour before using. If too thick, add a little more water and mix well.
7. Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter (depending on the size of the pan) in the center of a hot, lightly oiled frying pan. Tip the pan to spread the batter and cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook for 15 seconds on the other side. Makes 12.

8. Filling:

9. Beat together the sour cream or yogurt with the sugar and set aside.
10. Fold in the strawberries.
11. Fill each crepe with the mixture and fold over.
12. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
