Low Carb Crepes




I use these in so many more ways than just �crepes�.   In both sweet or savory recipes, as wraps, tortillas, noodles � they are a great way to still make those dishes you love without the unneeded carbs.

Don�t be afraid of making crepes � and you don�t need a special pan.  The first one may flop, but you�ll get the hang of it quickly.   Then you can use them for enchiladas, burritos, lasagna, sandwiches, or just roll up with a sprinkle of Cinnamon-Splenda inside.  They�re a very versatile thing to keep on hand.  (They also freeze great.  Just put a piece of waxed paper, or plastic wrap between each one.)

You can add 1 tablespoon Splenda, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, or sweet spices for a sweet version.  Or herbs and other spices for savory.

Low Carb Crepes (Low-carb, higer-protein)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (stats are for Part-Skim / lowfat)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions:

In a medium bowl beat the Ricotta with the eggs. Beat in the flour, salt, milk. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. 

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat with vegetable cooking spray when hot. Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter and immediately swirl the pan to coat the entire surface in a thin layer. Allow to cook, without turning, until completely done. The top should be no longer shiny and when you touch it it�s not wet. The bottom will be have a very slight golden color. If it�s too dark, lower the heat.
