Lemon Dream Crepes

By: Sue Jurack  
"Need a light dessert idea for a luncheon? With a delicate lemon filling, these crepes are even better than lemon meringue pie! I have served them at many summer luncheons, and they seem to be a perfect ending for the meal. --Sue A. Jurack"

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • LEMON FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Combine the milk, eggs, butter and vanilla; add to flour mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter until the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until edges are lightly browned; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
  3. For filling, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and salt. Whisk in eggs and yolks. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a small bowl; press plastic wrap over top of filling. Refrigerate until chilled.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into lemon filling. To serve, spoon 2 tablespoonfuls of filling down the center of each crepe; fold sides of crepe over filling. Top with remaining whipped cream.
