TASTE THE DIFFERENCE

I found a scrumptious crepe recipe that's so amazing I have to share it!  This recipe does not contain eggs or milk.  The taste is deliciously satisfying, and the mix can be made into waffles or pancakes by adjusting the water.  Freshly ground wheat and flaxseed are the secret ingredients to this formula.  The elasticity of milled grains makes this batter fluffy and crisp.  Top it off with a sinfully decadent filling of Greek yogurt, creme cheese, and local honey (I used fat-free/cholesterol-free dairy products), then plop a few ripe berries on the side, and you have a guilt-free breakfast that your body will thank you for later.  Yum-Yum! See RECIPE below

WHOLE GRAIN CREPES

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour (Set WonderMill on pastry setting)
1 Egg substitute (1 Tablespoon Flax Seed milled in coffee grinder plus 3 Tablespoon of water = 1 egg)
3 Teaspoons baking powder
1 Cup warm water
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon honey
2 Tablespoon cooking  oil
1 Teaspoon vanilla
Dash of cinnamon
Whisk freshly ground flax seed and 3 T. water with baking powder until fluffy.  Let rest 1 minute then add salt, oil, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well before adding flour.  Let rest for 1 minute before making crepes on an electric griddle.  Recipe makes 4 six-inch crepes.

CREME CHEESE FILLING FOR CREPES
6 oz. Container of Greek Yogurt (fat-free organic)
4 oz. Creme cheese (fat-free organic)
4 Tablespoon of local honey
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth 


FRUIT (fresh or frozen)
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
Toss fruit with a little honey 


TO SERVE
Spread Crepes with Creme Cheese filling and fold in half.
Top with Fruit and a drizzle of Honey.  

Ahh Yes...the taste of summer in winter!

HELPFUL HINTS
I used a regular coffee grinder to mill the flaxseed since the WONDER MILL prohibits grinding oily nuts and seeds.  Then I ground golden wheat kernels to a fine powder on the WONDER MILL's pastry setting.  To master a light and fluffy crepe, mix the ground flaxseed with water and baking powder before adding other ingredients.

Very good. I made these and used nutella to fill them and we enjoyed them very much w tropical fruit on the side. In the mixture I added 2 packets of Splenda for some sweetness. Thank you for the recipe.
