Title: Crepes
Categories: Breakfast, Lowfat
Yield: 20 Servings
1 c Cold water
1 c Cold skim milk
6 ea Egg whites
1/2 ts Lite salt or less or none
2 c Sifted flour
2 tb Canola oil
Put liquids, egg whites and salt into a blender jar; add flour then
oil. Blend at top speed, scrapimg any flour adhering to the sides of
the jar. Cover, refrigerate 2 hours. This is an important step-it
allows the flour particles to expand in the liquid and insures a
tender, thin crepe. The batter should be a very light creamy
texture-just thick enough to coat a wooden spoon. For each crepe,
heat 6" nonstick fry pan over moderatly high heat. When hot, pour a
scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet;immediatly rotate the
pan until batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown; turn and
brown on the other side. Slide onto warm plate and proceed in same
manner with rest of batter. Put waxed paper between crepes. Keep
covered, as they cool, to prevent them from drying out. The crepes
are now ready to be filled. Makes 20 crepes, 6" each. SERVING,
