Ready In:: 44mins
Ingredients:: 6
Serves:: 8

ingredients

3 eggs, separated
1 cup skim milk
³⁄₄ cup flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted,cooled

directions

These proportions make an eggier-tasting crepe.
Beat the egg yolks with part of the milk, add flour, sugar, salt, beat well.
Add remaining milk gradually, then melted butter.
Beat egg whites stiff.
Fold into crepe mixture.
They either may be cooked in the usual way in a crepe pan or put into a large buttered pan and baked in a preheated 375F oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.
This then becomes something like a flat souffle that can be topped with a filling or one can be put over half the batter, the rest poured on top.
It can be a sweet filling like strawberries or apples and may be flavored with lemon rind, brandy, or vanilla.

Decided to make in the oven in a buttered casserole dish. Serbed cream and vanilla icecream. Next time though I think I will put half the batter in then layer with fruit (tinned peaches more than likely) then top with the other half of the batter. Doing the way I did it was a little heavy on the bottom and the egg flavour was quite predominant. Still enjoyed very much and very low in sugars a big bonus. Thank you Auntie Jan Christo. Made for Recipe Swap #7 - August 2007.

This was made for PAC, Spring 2007, and was the hit of Sunday brunch! The pictures say it all...but let me add: it tastes every bit as good as it looks! This would be very versatile for sweet or savory additions. I enjoyed mine with just a bit of butter, maple syrup, and apple sauce. My husband also loved this dish. I added a bit of vanilla and nutmeg and it was so good. Thanks for posting this one Auntie Jan.

I have started a new chapter in my life...I got re-married to the sweetest guy ever! I have two sons Jeff 23 and Chris who is 27 They have both moved out of the house so I am happily going thru empty nest syndrome. I've become a motorcycle momma..in our free time you will find us on our harley going wherever the wind takes us. Love it!!! I lost my dad 3 years ago and it still hurts and I miss him alot. So if anyone who reads this and has lost a loved one, drop me a line and we can commiserate. I became a Zaar addict quite awhile ago and I love it- its truly helped me meet alot of awesome people and to be part of a community that not only is about the food, but also cares about everyone who is a member. I am a Host Moderator in the Q&A Forum. Its where I spend most of my time when I'm on Zaar, but you find me just about anywhere in the late night hours. My Zaar Sister Shirl(J)831 and I have met and she always welcomes me into her home. She is truly my dearest friend and kindred sister. Alot of people on Zaar think we are actually sisters and I take that as a compliment. She lives down South and that happens to be one of my favorite areas.
