Crepes with Walnut Filling

I have not met a person that didn't like crepes. Sweet or savoury I will never say no to a good crepe. Well, unless it is that sponge like crepe wanna-be you can purchase in a package at your local supermarket. Then, no thank you...you can keep that.

Good crepe must be thin, soft and fresh from the griddle or pan.

My children love crepes and over the years I made them many different ways, but the number one choice in my house are Walnut Crepes.

Crepes with Walnut Filling

Growing up my dad used to make them for us as a special treat. Now every time I make these for my own children I daydream a bit. Back then I couldn't wait to grow up and now I would give anything to go back once in awhile.

I hope you will enjoy these crepes as much as my family does.

Ingredients for crepes:

• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Mineral Water
• 1 Egg
• 1 1/4 Flour
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla
  
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 1 Tsp Baking Powder

Mix all the ingredients with an electric mixer and let it sit overnight or for at least an hour.

Ingredients for the Walnut Filling:

• 1 1/2 cup Ground Walnuts
• 1 Tbsp Butter
  
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Spiced Rum
• 1/4 cup Raisins (optional)

In a pan melt the butter and roast the walnuts for few minutes. Add the milk, sugar, rum and raisins. Cook over medium high heat till it thickens. Stir frequently.

Make the crepes. Spread the walnut filling onto the crepes about 2 Tbsp per crepe. Fold then into quarters. Sprinkle with nuts, chocolate and whipped cream.
