RED PEARLS

Autumn, and crepes for dinner....

Once upon a time there was a big fat pancake, golden as the sun and soft as snow, that didn't want to be eaten by the rich fat widows and jumped out of the pan to see the world. After a realy thrilling, nearly never ending journey, escaping the pig and the old dog and the stinky wolf he jumps in the wooden basket of the little lonesome girl and the little boy, giving them the best dinner they ever had.

Childhood is this story, told over and over again each time we savoured this delicious mass of pastry.

To make it more fancy, let's call it "Kräppe", to make it less grossy and make us feel better let's scale the height to some undefined percentage...and voilá, we have a nice looking, nearly healthy little "take back" to times before steuererklärung.

When it comes to cooking in my opinion it has to be special, but easy. I admire every way of preparation, that allows you to use valuable fresh ingredients, but on the other hand does not take to long. One of my best founds respectively, is Diamant Gelierzauber (and even better: Diamant Eiszauber), a great invention for fast and very healthy preparation of marmelade. You don't boil the fruits, so the vitamins remain...and: it takes less than 5 Min.

Back to the crepes...
For 2 Persons I take

250 g milk
100 g wheat flour type 405
25 g wheat flour type 1050
2 eggs
butter
salt

Melt a tablespoon of butter in the crepepan, do not allow it to sizzle. Mix the melt butter with the other ingedients and pour small ladleful after ladleful in the hot pan.

To add something fresh I thought of marmelade....and bought what the fruit market had to offer.
