Strawberry Crepes with Cottage Cheese - Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Fresh ripe strawberries - 1 small pack or as required
• All purpose flour - 3/4 cup
• Caster sugar - 2 tbsp
• Low fat milk - as required
• Cottage Cheese - about 50gm
• Egg - 1 lightly beaten
• Baking powder - 1 tsp
• Honey - as required

Method:

1. Blend the cottage cheese, 1 or 2 fresh strawberries and sugar with some milk into a smooth paste.
2. In a mixing bowl, take all the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) and whisk it to mix them.
3. Then add the egg and gradually add milk to form a smooth batter for making the crepes. It should not be too thick or too thin.
4. Heat a non stick pan and grease it with butter or vegetable oil. Add a scoop of the batter and then spread it in concentric circles to form a thin crepe.
5. When the bottom side is crisp and golden brown, flip it with a spatula and let the other side cook.
6. Prepare the remaining crepes in a similar manner.
7. To serve, smear a generous amount of honey on each crepe and add fresh strawberry slices. Fold both the ends towards the center and enjoy! You can add any filling of your choice.
