Steps:
- Put the flour and salt and in a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, and then whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a small pat of butter in the pat and swirl around so that it lightly coats the surface.
- Add 1/3 cup of the batter and move your wrist in a circular pattern to coat the pan with thin even layer of batter. Cook for about 1 minute or until the first side browns lightly, then flip and cook 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Fill with jam, honey, sugar, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, bananas - anything sweet that you enjoy from your pantry.
CREPES-NALESNIKI W/SWEET CHEESE FILLING
If you love crepes this is a step by step recipe so you can make them at home. I was excited that I now can make them myself. I just adore crepes and with a sweet cheese lemony flavored filling they are just heavenly good. We made these in a Polish cooking class I took last month in March 2013 with Chef Tad. Hope you'll give them...

Steps:
- 1. With a whisk, beat eggs well. Add your milk, water, salt & oil and whisk together. While whisking together gradually add the flour and keep mixing till lump disappear. If there are still lumps in mixture allow it to sit several minutes and whisk again. This batter will be very thin.
- 2. Preheat pan over a medium-high heat. Make sure you are using a well seasoned 9-inch pan or non-stick pan and if need be brush a little oil on pan for the first crepe.
- 3. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and twirl to coat the entire bottom with the batter.
- 4. Fry till lightly browned and flip crepe and lightly brown on other side about 20 seconds.
- 5. Stack all your crepes on a plate while making them.
- 6. SWEET CHEESE FILLING: Mash your cottage cheese well with a fork or potato masher & zest your lemon or orange. Add the rest of ingredients and mix well. We loved the strong flavor of lemon zest but you can add a smaller amount if you want.
- 7. Spread about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture across and off-center of crepe. The line of mixture should be about 1 inch wide. Try not to spread to the edge of the crepe or the filling may leak out.
- 8. Roll up crepes and fry lightly in butter.
- 9. Sprinkle crepes with powdered sugar and serve. You can add some fresh sliced fruit, homemade jam or just a drizzles of chocolate or caramel syrup. Whatever you love best. They taste incredible!
BASIC SWEET CREPES
This recipe is from "JOY of COOKING" and it is the best Crepe recipe I know of. I make it all the time, in a blender, leaving it overnight in the refrigerator, to fix strawberry crepes for Sunday breakfast.

Steps:
- Pour the batter into a pitcher or other container with a pouring lip.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes or in refrigerate for up to 2 days. (This allows the flour to thoroughly absorb the liquid and gives the gluten in the flour a chance to relax.).
- Place a nonstick or seasoned crepe pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with a little unsalted butter.
- Stir the batter and pour about 2 tablespoons into the pan, lifting the pan off the heat and tilting and rotating it so that the batter forms an even, very thin layer. Cook until the top is set and the underside is golden. Turn the crepe over, using a spatula or your fingers (fingers work best here) and cook until the second side is lightly browned. Remove the crepe to a piece of wax paper. Continue cooking the rest of the crepes, buttering the pan and stirring the batter before starting each one.
- Stack the finished crepes between sheets of wax paper.
- Use immediately or let cool, wrap airtight and freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Make filling:
- In a small heatproof bowl plump currants in boiling-hot water 15 minutes and drain. Pat currants dry between paper towels. In a food processor or in a bowl with an electric mixer blend together well cream cheese, jam, yolks, zest, and vanilla. In a bowl with an electric mixer (beaters cleaned if necessary) beat whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks. Add sugar to whites and beat meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Fold cheese mixture into meringue gently but thoroughly and fold in currants.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. and lightly butter a 14-inch-long oval gratin dish or other 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
- Working with 1 crêpe at a time, spread 2 generous tablespoons filling on each crêpe, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around, and roll up crêpes jelly-roll fashion. With a sharp knife cut crêpes on a diagonal in half and arrange, overlapping slightly, in layers in baking dish. Crêpes may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring crêpes to at room temperature before proceeding.

- Dust crêpes with confectioners' sugar and serve with apricot caramel sauce.
AUSTRIAN TOPFENPALATSCHINKEN - AUSTRIAN SWEET CRêPES
A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc.

Tips:
- Use a good non-stick skillet or crepe pan. This will help to prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepes will not cook evenly.
- Pour the batter in a thin, even layer. This will help to ensure that the crepes are cooked evenly.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not overcook the crepes, or they will become dry and tough.
- Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite toppings. Crepes can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings, or simply served with butter and sugar.

Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crepes a try!
