Low Carb Crepes - Go well with Low Carb Fruits

These crepes/pancakes are virtually carb. free and are very easy to make - although you use ricotta cheese they do not taste of cheese.

Ingredients.

200 Grams of ricotta cheese
3 eggs
I teaspoon of cinnamon
A splash of milk

Method

Mix the cheese, eggs and cinnamon into a small mixing bowl. Add a splash of milk if the mix is too thick to run freely. Place a small knob of butter into a frying pan, I use a small omelette pan 8". Heat the butter and spoon in 3 table spoons of mix. Fry until firm then turn over and cook for one minute or until the crepe is starting to brown. This mix makes between 6 and 8 crepes/pancakes. Allow to cool.

Great at any time with savoury foods, such as cream cheese, spring onions, very good for the lunch box or picnic.....and also great warmed up with some low carb berries and double cream.

How about trying them with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries or blueberries.  

Or just serve simply with a slice of lemon - gently squeezed over the crepes.  

All the best Jan

Oooo thanks Jan I must try that

I made a batch of those last night, very nice too, except:

I need a smaller pan to control the size better; and I need to remember the heat and to turn on the extractor - managed to set off all the smoke alarms ...

I haven't tried cheese and egg on it's own, I'll give that a try.

We used to have a saying in our house ........when the smoke alarms go off dinner is ready

But these crepes / pancakes are good

Bumped this up ... you may find the recipe idea comes in useful during August !

Enjoy your day, and this recipe.
