CINNAMON ROLL CREPES
Steps:
- For the crepes: Combine the milk, flour, granulated sugar, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using or transfer to a container with a lid and let rest in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For the cinnamon rum sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, rum and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and cook a few more minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- For the filling: Combine the cream cheese, cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and orange zest in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the crepe batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, coating the skillet with butter as needed. Stack the finished crepes directly on top of each other.
- Place a crepe on a flat surface with the browner side down. Smear 3 to 4 tablespoons filling across the crepe slightly off center and a few inches from the bottom (facing you), fold the bottom up over the filling and then roll the crepe tightly. Place seam-side down on a plate or platter and repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Spoon the sauce over the crepes, dust with confectioners' sugar and scatter some orange zest on top. Serve immediately.

Yield 2 Asparagus and Prosciutto or 2 Smoked Salmon and Scallion Rollups (about 12 pieces of crepe "sushi")
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Lay crepe flat on a clean work surface. In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, lemon zest, and juice; season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly to edges of crepe. Cut crepe in half.
- Blanch asparagus in generously salted boiling water until crisp tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to an ice water bath until cold; drain and pat dry. Top each crepe half with 2 slices prosciutto and 2 blanched asparagus spears, laying them parallel to long, cut side of crepe, leaving a 1/2-inch border at cut edges.
- Starting at rounded ends, tightly roll each half to enclose filling, gently pressing long, cut end to adhere. To serve, trim ends and cut crosswise into approximate 1-inch pieces of "sushi."
- For salmon variation, sprinkle chopped scallions over cream cheese, replace prosciutto with smoked salmon, and omit asparagus.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture in the Banana Chocolate Chip Crepe Roll-Ups.
- For the Strawberry Cream Crepe Roll-Ups, use fresh strawberries for the filling and garnish.
- If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a nonstick skillet instead, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Be careful not to overfill the crepes, or they will be difficult to roll up.
- If you are using spreadable fillings, such as Nutella or cream cheese, you can spread them on the crepes before rolling them up.
- If you are using chunkier fillings, such as fruit or nuts, you can add them to the crepes after they have been rolled up.
- Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- To reheat crepes, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Kids Crepe Roll-Ups are a delicious and versatile snack or breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
