There is something reassuring about standing for something, and knowing what we stand for.
For men and women who are true to themselves and to the virtues and standards they have
personally adopted, it is not difficult to be true to others.
{ Gordon B. Hinckley, standing for something }



Don't these sound delectable?!

Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Crepes D. Rattray (on About.com)

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar combined with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:

Crepes: In a blender, blend 2 eggs with milk. Add the flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Pour into a container, cover, and refrigerate let stand for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.

To cook, heat a lightly buttered 7" or 8" crepe pan. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in the hot pan and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan. Cook until the edges begin to brown. Carefully lift with a thin spatula and flip over. Cook for a few seconds, just until lightly browned. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining batter. If you will be storing the crepes for a short time, separate the crepes with small squares of waxed paper.

Heat oven to 350°. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.

In a bowl, gently combine the ricotta with the beaten egg, powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice. Fold in blueberries. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on a crepe; roll up gently, burrito style, tucking ends in to keep the filling from leaking. Arrange the filled crepes in the prepared baking dish; brush with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake for 20 minutes.
