Crepes with cheese recipe INGREDIENTS 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tea spoon of vanilla 2 tablespoons butter, melted DIRECTIONS 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Add vanilla and gradually add in the milk and enough water, stirring to combine the ingredients until the batter is “crepe” consistency. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth. For best results and to prevent batter to become lumpy use a mixer. 2. When frying your crepes use a non-stick pan. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. Shake the pan back and forth with the handle now and then. When the crepe begins to slip back and forth it is done on the primary side so you flip and really quickly do the other side or it gets rubbery. 3. Cook the crepe for no more than 2 minutes. Filling for crepe 1. 2. 3. 4. 1 pkg of Cottage Cheese (500g) about 1lb 1 table spoon of sugar 1tea spoon of cinnamon 1 tea spoon of vanilla Combine cheese, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and blend all the ingredients until quite smooth. Place a spoonful of this mixture onto each crepe and fold it in a wedge. Fry each wedge on both sides on a frying pan to make it crisp. Serve warm with a touch of sprinkled sugar. Enjoy.

Apple Caramel Crumble Pie Ingredients: 1 Tenderflake® Frozen Deep Dish Pie Shell, thawed ¾ cup (175 mL) Packed brown sugar ½ cup (125 mL) All-purpose flour ½ cup (125 mL) Old fashioned oats ½ cup (125 mL) Butter,melted ¾ tsp (2 mL) Cinnamon Pinch of salt 3 cups (750 mL) Peeled, cored and sliced apples ½ cup (125 mL) Ready prepared caramel sauce, divided Method: Prep Time 20 min Total Time 1 hr Serves 8 PREPARE pie shell according to package directions for a baked pie shell. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). MIX together brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside. SPREAD sliced apples in baked pie shell. Drizzle ¼ cup (50 mL) caramel sauce over apples and top with crumble mix. BAKE for 30 to 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining caramel sauce before serving. How to make your own pie crust: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling 1 cup (2 sticks or 8 ounces) unsalted butter, very-cold, cut into 1/2 inch cubes 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 6 to 8 Tbsp ice water 1 Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse 6 to 8 times, until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea size pieces of butter. Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time, pulsing until mixture just begins to clump together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it holds together, it's ready. If the dough doesn't hold together, add a little more water and pulse again. Note that too much water will make the crust tough. 2 Remove dough from machine and place in a mound on a clean surface. Gently shape the dough mixture into two disks. Work the dough just enough to form the disks, do not over-knead. You should be able to see little bits of butter in the dough. Sprinkle a little flour around the disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour, and up to 2 days. 3 Remove one crust disk from the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes in order to soften just enough to make rolling out a bit easier. Roll out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle; about 1/8 of an inch thick. Carefully place onto a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press the pie dough down so that it lines the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to trim the dough to within 1/2 inch of the edge of the pie dish. 4 Add filling to the pie and carefully place second disk on top to cover pie.
