(Units: 100 g = 3 1/2 oz; 1 dl = 3 1/2 fl oz = 2/5 cup; 180 oC = 350 oF;
200 oC = 400 oF; 230 oC = 450 oF; 250 oC = 475 oF; 2.5 cm = 1 inch)
(Two crepes per person for a first course, serve with the tomato sauce)
Break the eggs into a liquidizer or food processor and add the flour, salt
and pepper to taste. Whiz, gradually adding the milk and water. Add the
snipped chives, which unless snipped just wrap themselves around the
blades, and the other herbs and whiz until the herbs are fine. Pour the
crepe batter into a jug and leave to stand for half an hour.
To cook the crepes, melt a small amount of butter, about 1 1/2 ts, in a
crepe or omelette pan, and swirl it over the surface of the pan. Pour in
just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, swirling the batter
around so that the crepe will be as thin as possible. Over a moderate heat,
cook for about 30 seconds, then turn the crepe over using a small palette
knife or spatula and your fingers.
As they are cooked, stack the crepes with a piece of greaseproof (wax)
paper between each, to prevent them sticking together.
For the filling, put the cheese into a food processor with the egg whites
and whiz until smooth.
Put a generous teaspoonful of filling in the middle of each crepe and fold
into a fat rectangle. Put the stuffed crepes into an oiled or buttered
heatproof dish and brush them with melted butter. Bake in a preheated
moderate oven 180 oC for 20 minutes.
