Strawberry Crepes

 
Strawberry Crepes

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, 
and let him make her sorry to see him leave.  
~ Martin Luther

Since I've been a bit stretched the past few weeks, Larry has graciously thrown in and done more of the cooking. 
(Have I mentioned lately how much I love this man?!) 
He played around with some "kicked-up" versions of his regular pancakes, and then he moved on to crepes. My lips have enjoyed every moment of his experimenting! 
But, my waistline isn't fairing nearly as well!!
He volunteered to make crepes for Sunday school yesterday. We all thought they turned out great!!
He's still perfecting his crepe batter. I'll post the basic Bisquick recipe. 
If any of you are crepe makers and have tips you'd share with him, please pass them along! 

Strawberry Crepes

Crepes:

2 eggs
1 cup Bisquick
3/4 cup milk

Beat eggs slightly; add remaining ingredients and beat just until smooth. If time allows, let batter rest for about an hour.
When ready to cook, pour 2 - 3 tablespoons into hot skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Brown lightly on both sides.

Filling:

1 cup strawberries -- washed and sliced
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar                     

Blend powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. This will be fairly thick.
Fold in berries.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons onto each crepe, roll up.

Serve with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar, if you like.

Larry made his crepes on Saturday night and stacked them on a tray with wax paper between layers. Then he wrapped the tray with plastic wrap. It worked perfectly!

    This sounds yummy...and easy! Until now, I had never seen crepes made from Bisquick. Would you share it with my visitors? I just started a new page for the best crepe recipe in the world.

    Thanks!

    Connie, thank you for sharing your recipe on my site. My visitors will greatly appreciate being able to make crepes using items out of their pantry! And what southern cook doesn't have Bisquick? :)

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles

 Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles  Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles Many thanks to my friend, Wayne, for posting this delicious recipe! I knew when I saw it that I had to make these for the "Lost Crew." They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
