EGGNOG CREPES WITH SPICED CREAM CHEESE FILLING Even if you are not a big eggnog fan (hey, we have some- thing in common!) trust me, you will love these! The eggnog, along with the spiced cream cheese, gives these crepes the perfect holiday twist. For the Crepes: 1 3/4 C. all purpose flour 3 eggs 1/4 tsp. salt 1 T. vanilla extract 1 C. milk 1 C. eggnog 2 T. butter melted or vege- table oil Directions: Combine all ingredients ex- cept milk and eggnog. With an electric hand mixer, slowly beat in milk and eggnog. You want a smooth batter without any lumps. If you have a skil- let that has very low sides, perfect! If not, a regular skil- let will be fine. Spray with cooking oil to prevent stick- ing. A good crepe is crispy on both sides and thin--to do this you will need a very hot skil- let. While pouring the batter, tip the skillet towards you to spread it around. Cook for ap- proximately 1 minute on each side. For the Filling: 8 oz. cream cheese Powdered Sugar to taste Cinnamon to taste Vanilla to taste Nutmeg to taste (optional) Spoon mixture into your crepes. Top with your choice of toppings. A favorite combination of mine is apple pie filling, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of pow- dered sugar.
