Healthy Recipes has found that by using natural, organic flours, and eggs, that we can really create a beautiful, simple recipe. By adding favorite vegetables such as asparagus, artichokes, or even chicken strips, we can create a marvelous or brunch meal or even dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups Nutriflour
3 eggs (organic, free-run)
3/4 oz unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup water 1 cup 1% milk
Dash sea salt
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Pour flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Break eggs into well in flour. Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and stir in a circular fashion with a whisk, gradually widening the circle to incorporate a little of the flour at a time, until all the flour is absorbed by the milk.Add remaining 1/2 cup milk, and the water, melted butter and sea salt and beat with a whisk until all lumps have disappeared. Remove any excess lumps. Let batter chill in fridge for 1 hour.
Pour 1/4 cup of crepe mixture on to hot, lightly oiled, small crepe pan. Move oil to cover bottom of pan; turn when edges are light brown and dots are showing; 2 minutes. Slide a spatula to lift crepe grabbing the opposite side using your finger, flip to the other side; cook until slightly brown.
Remove crepe from pan and fill with your favorite filling. Crepes may be filled with your favorite vegetable; personally I like asparagus, chicken strips or tiger prawns with a nice sauce which I will display below:
Speedy Hollandaise Sauce:
Place 4 egg yolks in mini-blender, adding 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp lemon juice in processor for 10 seconds. Add 6 oz melted butter in a thin stream. Pour into pyrex container, and microwave, for 1 minute, whisking every 20 seconds . I like my eggs cooked!
I have given you only one sauce recipe for Savory Crepes. There are many; one must be careful with calories; but enjoy.
Healthy Recipe will serve 6 people.

Healthy Recipes has found that by using natural, organic flours, eggs and adding fruits, yogurt (organic) ice cream and fresh fruits, we adorn the crepes, and this makes a lovely breakfast or brunch, meal or dessert.

1 cup 1% milk
2 tbsp Splenda (sugar replacement natural)
Dash sea salt
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Pour flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
Break eggs into well in flour. Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and stir in a circular fashion with a whisk, gradually widening the circle to incorporate a little of the flour at a time, until all the flour is absorbed by the liquid.
Add remaining 1/2 cup milk, and the water, sugar, melted butter and sea salt and beat with a whisk until all lumps have disappeared. Remove any excess lumps. Let batter chill in fridge for 1 hour.
Pour 1/4 cup of crepe mixture on to hot, lightly oiled, small crepe pan. Move liquid to cover bottom of pan; turn when edges are light brown and dots are showing; 2 minutes. Slide a spatula to lift crepe grabbing the opposite side using your finger; flip to the other side and cook until light brown. Remove crepe from pan and fill with your favorite filling. Crepes may be served with fresh peaches and cream. For an elegant dessert, roll crepes around ice cream, cover with strawberries and whipped Cream. You may add your favorite fruit topped with yogurt ice cream and for those who wish to, you may add a small amount of whipped cream and/or chocolate syrup.
This healthy recipe is so deliciously delightful, and serves 6 dessert crepes. In order to keep the calories lower, use just the yogurt ice cream and eliminate the syrups and whipped cream.
