A recipe is merely
words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to
improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and
telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason, this is also
an account of what happens when I make this dish, so you'll
understand each step. Of course when you cook it once, it
becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an
ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try
substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no
flavour, you have to add your own!
Crêpes: 2/3 cup Heart Smart Bisquick
2/3 cup skim milk
1/4 cup Egg Beaters
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Filling: 3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
3 tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups diced mangoes and berries
(any mixture)
Stir together all crêpe ingredients in a small bowl.
Spray a 7-inch nonstick skillet lightly with nonstick
cooking spray and place over medium heat. While
tipping skillet, add a generous 2 tbsp. of batter,
tilting skillet to cover the bottom. Cook for about 2
minutes or until lightly browned; turn and cook for
a minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
Keep crêpes warm. Stir together ricotta, honey
and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Place about 1
1/2 tbsp. mixture in the center of each crepe. Top
each with 1/4 cup fruit; roll up and serve
immediately.
