How do you like your crepes?
When I was growing up, we used to get crepes every once in a while. They were a bit thicker than your average French style crepe. Being that the women in our circle learned to make them while living in Hungary, they were called Palacsinta.
The Hungarians make many different types of P, but our P's were pretty much the same. A crepe filled with ground walnuts, cottage cheese and apricot preserves. We didn't always eat them for desert though. Whenever we made a ham and navy bean soup, we'd eat these P's alongside. They're pretty yummy. Even if you just have them with only some type of preserve/jam in there, it would be really tasty. |

I make the same occasionally but not often. Thin crepe, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice squeezed on. Rolled up to eat and very tasty. |

IMHO, savoury crepes are the best. I haven't made them in a couple of decades but when I did make crepes I filled them with a sauteed chicken and sliced button mushrooms filling with a mornay sauce, rolled and placed in a glass baking pan, topped with more sauce and heated through in the oven. Delicious! Crepes are a lot of work. One has to cook each crepe one at a time, set it aside (stacked between sheets of waxed paper is best so they don't stick together and dry out) until you have enough crepes to fill and stuff. Tasty but time consuming. I could dig out the recipe if you're interested. Jill |

I really really like them with my pineapple jam that I make, (recipe previously posted) They are just completely outstanding!! Although I dont see how cottage cheese would be better than cream cheese but to each his own -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

Interesting. > > Â*Â* Yes, please share a recipe? > > You call it a pancake, I call them crepes. Start with a basic crepe recipe. 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp. baking powder. 1 egg, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1-1/4 cup milk, 1 Tbs. melted butter. Beat by hand until smooth. Lightly butter a 7-or 8 inch skillet. Heat over medium heat. For each crepe, pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and immediately rotate the skillet until a thin film of batter covers the bottom. Cook until light brown. Run a wide spatula around the edge to loosen; turn and cook the other side briefly. Stack crepes separately with waxed paper. Brush the pan with a little more butter as needed. Once you've made the crepes, here's the filling. 1-1/2 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped Sautee minced onion, celery and thinly sliced button mushrooms in butter until tender. Season with salt & pepper and a bit of paprika. Stir in 1 cup of chicken broth or stock and heat to boiling, stirring, then add enough flour to lightly thicken the sauce. Add about 1/4 cup of grated swiss cheese and stir until smooth and melted. Spoon a little of the cooked chicken with a bit of the sauce onto each crepe. Roll the crepes and place, seam side down, in a glass baking dish. Spoon the remaining cheese sauce over the crepes. Bake uncovered in a 350°F oven until heated through, about 20 minutes. Jill |

Thanks for the reminder. We've not made them for ages, but a hand-me-down from my grandmother. Leftover roast beef would be ground. In a pan saute onion, mushrooms, add the beef and either leftover gravy or broth to make the filling moist. Put it in a crepe, fry and serve. |
