Creamy Rhubarb Crepes



3 eggs
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Additional butter

SAUCE/FILLING:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups thinly sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
Confectioners’ sugar

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth; let stand for 30 minutes.

Melt ½ teaspoon butter into an 8-in. nonstick skillet. Pour ¼ cup batter into the center of skillet; life and turn pan to cover bottom. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Remove to a wire rack; cover with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.

This is a really tasty crepe batter.


Meanwhile, for sauce, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in rhubarb. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and rhubarb is tender. 

Rhubarb from our garden! (Since it's the only thing that seems to grow successfully there, we'd better make the most of it.)


Remove from the heat; cool slightly.

For filling, in a bowl, beat cream cheese and ¼ cup of the rhubarb sauce until smooth and creamy. Place a rounded tablespoonful on each crepe; fold in half and in half again, forming a triangle. 

The resemblance to traditional pancakes will end quite soon.


Dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with remaining sauce.

So nice! 



My Rating: 4/5 "This is sweety-sweet-sweet, but the tartness of the rhubarb makes it nicely complex as well. Really comforting textures all around. A nice brunchy treat!"
