These crab crêpes are delicious on spring or summer evenings with a green salad on the side.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cold water
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
-
1
Make the crêpes: Place flour, water, eggs, melted butter, and salt into a blender. Cover and blend for 2 minutes. Chill batter in the refrigerator for two hours.
-
2
Heat an oiled, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in enough of the chilled batter to cover half of the skillet. Tip and rotate the skillet until the batter covers the entire area. Cook until the batter turns from wet to moist, and the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the skillet. Turn the crêpe over, and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side. Place the crêpe onto a plate, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep moist. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed to keep the crêpes from sticking.

Beat heavy cream and egg yolks together in a small bowl. Gradually add egg mixture to butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in grated cheese to form a thick sauce.

6
Pour sauce into crab meat mixture, reserving 1 cup of the sauce; stir to combine.

7
Lay out one crêpe on a flat surface. Spoon 2 heaping spoonfuls of crab mixture at one end of the crêpe, then roll crêpe up around the filling. Repeat with remaining crêpes. Top each with reserved cheese sauce and serve.

Sweet and Mild Cooked Tomato Salsa
When fresh tomatoes from my garden start ripening faster than I can eat them fresh, I make this salsa. I modified the recipe to match my taste for sweet salsa with just a bit of zip. I freeze peeled tomatoes so that I can have the garden-fresh taste in winter, too.
Berry Mallow Yam Bake
Our family always make this dish during the holidays. My sister-in-law brought it into the family! If you want, sprinkle 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows and bake until lightly browned.
