Desserts Recipes - Black Cherry Crepes Recipe

Ingredients

SERVES 4

For the crepe batter:

  • 100g/4oz plain flour

  • 1 egg

  • 300ml/1/2pt milk

For the filling:

  • 375g/13oz fresh black cherries

  • 25g/1oz icing sugar

  • 150g/5oz natural yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil


Method:

  1. To make the crepe batter, whisk together the flour, egg and milk until smooth. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

  2. For the filling, pit the cherries and halve or quarter them if they are large. Stir the icing sugar into the yogurt.

  3. Brush a 15cm/6in non-stick crepe pan very lightly with oil and heat until hot.

  4. Whisk the batter well and thin it with a little milk if it is too thick. Pour one eighth of the batter into the hot pan and swirl it around to cover the base. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden underneath, then turn over and cook the other side.

  5. Turn the crepe out of the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have 8 crepes, adding more oil as necessary.

  6. To serve, place a spoonful of sweetened yogurt in the centre of each crepe and top with a spoonful of cherries. Fold the crepe into quarters and serve warm.
