Delicious Crepes Recipe

April 1, 2014 1 Comment

I’m posting another crepes recipe today. I made these for today’s dinner and for the third time in a week. They’re probably the best crepes we’ve ever had. I think it’s the combination of yogurt, vanilla and lemon that makes them so desirable.

Ingredients (for 6 crepes): 2 eggs, 9 tablespoons flour, 8 tablespoons yogurt, a pinch salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 3 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons mineral water, coconut oil for greasing the pan, desired filling, powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. While beating, add yolks, alternately add flour and yogurt, then salt, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and finally – mineral water. Beat a little more. Set the bowl aside for about 5 minutes. Heat a little coconut oil in a frying pan. Once the pan is hot, pour just a little batter in the center of the pan and tilt the pan to swirl the batter. Cook until the edges are lightly browned and the center looks a bit set. Turn the crepe over and cook for another 10 to 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter. Fill the crepes with your favorite filling, roll or fold in quarters and (optional) dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!

 

Baked Yogurt Doughnuts

February 26, 2014 Leave a Comment

There are two reasons why I and my little guy baked these doughnuts today. The first reason is that carnival time is coming (in Europe) and this is the time when we make doughnuts. Not this kind of doughnuts, but I wanted to try something new and I like baking more than frying. (You can find our traditional doughnut recipe by clicking here.) And the second reason is that my little guy has been a little sick today. Making these (colorful) doughnuts was fun and it has certainly brightened our day. They’re easy to make AND delicious. I think they’re better without sprinkles, but kids love them. Our recipe is below.

Ingredients (for 16 doughnuts): 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups yogurt, 5 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons baking soda, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup (115g) butter (melted) for doughnuts + 2 tablespoons butter for (white) chocolate glaze + 2 teaspoons butter for greasing the tin, 1 2/3 cup (200 g) white chocolate for glaze, some sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (375 degrees F). First beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage. Then, while beating, add the yolks, sugar, yogurt, salt, baking soda, flour and melted butter(in that order). Grease doughnut pans. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and fill the doughnut pans about 3/4 full. Bake the doughnuts for 14 to 16 minutes. Carefully turn them out of the pan and let them cool completely. Melt white chocolate and two tablespoons of butter in double boiler until creamy smooth. Then coat each doughnut with the glaze and decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Allow to cool – until the chocolate glaze dries – or serve right away. Enjoy!!

Dessert for Two

I guess it would have been better to post this recipe earlier. But I couldn’t make it, sorry about that. And… You don’t need to make this dessert on Valentine’s Day. We should celebrate love every day, right? Sharing these delicious cakes is a great way to do that. ;)

Ingredients:

6 eggs, 8 tablespoons flour (sifted), 6 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) butter;

2 cups sweet cream, ¾ cup (100 grams) dark chocolate;

1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3 or 4 handfuls berries (I used strawberries and blueberries.)

Instructions:

First beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage. Then, while beating, add the yolks first, sugar second, (4TBS) melted butter third and finally the flour. Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 190 degrees C (375 degrees F) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, cut out circles with a cookie cutter (or other round object). I used a little bigger cookie cutter and I made 6 of them – three for each cake.

Combine the chocolate and sweet cream and cook together until chocolate is completely melted. Let it cool. This should actually be prepared a few hours before. Then whisk it and spread it on first layer of each cake, cover with another one and repeat the same for the next two layers. There is cream on top, too. Place the cakes in the fridge for an hour or more. 

Before serving, place a tablespoon of butter, berries and sugar in a pot, bring to boil and let boil for about 5 minutes – stirring occasionally. Pour the berry sauce over both cakes. Garnish as you wish.

Enjoy!!
