Crepes/swedish pancakes

I love these and make them pretty often. they can be used like crepes--rolled up with fruit and whipped cream, are delicious filled with pudding and drizzled with chocolate for an elegant dessert, or filled with savories like seafood, tomatoes, asparagus, cheese--you get the idea--for a brunch or light supper dish.

they taste almost exactly like the Swedish pancakes my Grandma used to make me when I was little--and aren't too dissimilar in texture. Slathered in butter and sprinkled with a little powdered splenda they are a dead ringer!

Crepes
makes four large crepes or a dozen small pancakes. recipe is essentially carb free and has about 30 grams of protein.

3 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon water
1-2 Tablespoons whey protein powder (essential--without it they fall apart)
1 teaspoon baking powder

whisk the eggs into the sour cream one at a time until well incorporated. add water and whisk in then add the protein powder and the baking powder. Mixture will be pretty thin.

you can make these like crepes using a large ( 10 inch) non-stick frying pan--pour out about 1/4 of the batter and let it spread out. cook until it is pretty well cooked though before trying to turn it or it will tear. It will bubble up and look thick but after turning and finishing it will flatten out and be easy to roll. The recipe makes about four largish ones.

you can also cook these as small dollar size cakes on a griddle. they are very tender and extra good with fruit or jam.
