But I've never made them at Linderhof. Although I bought a crepe pan at Williams Sonoma years ago!
I thought they were too complicated!
But they are after all little thin pancakes. Why should I have a fear of them?


They were great crepes. And would make a terrific special breakfast Thanksgiving weekend. Instead of making a cranberry sauce especially for the crepes, you could use leftover Thanksgiving sauce.
My fear of crepes is over. Crepes will now definitely be on the menu at Linderhof.
Cranberry Cheese Crepes
Crepe Batter:
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp. melted butter
1 c. flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp. melted butter
Sift the flour with the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and egg yolk. Pour in the milk slowly, stirring constantly and, when half is added, stir in the melted butter. Beat well until smooth. Add the remaining milk, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using. The batter should be the consistency of light cream.
Sun Dried Cranberry Sauce:
8 oz. craisins, cherry flavored
2 cups apple juice
1 medium onion, small dice
2 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1 T. granulated onion powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar and reduce heat to a simmer. Reduce mixture until apple juice is a syrup consistency and craisins are plumped. Taste for salt and adjust. Add more sugar if too tart.
When cooking, tilt pan so that the batter spreads evenly over bottom. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, turn and repeat. Makes 18 crepes.
Cheese Filling:
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 egg yolk
1/2 t. salt
1 t. melted butter
2 t. sugar
1 t. lemon juice
1/2 t. vanilla

Martha, these look delicious. You are a very fast learner! I love the cranberry sauce you use as a topper. I was suspicious until I read the ingredient list.
Martha, you did a great job! And I love your idea of having these for breakfast during the Thanksgiving weekend. I'd really like to do that, too.
I am enjoying your blog, Martha. It's like a visit with you every day. I miss my kitchen. Every entry looks so lovely and so gooood! Jewell
