Directions
- CREPE BATTER Heat butter over moderate heat. Continue to heat till butter is a light brown color Add in lowfat milk and hot slightly. Transfer mix to a bowl. Beat in remaining ingredients till smooth. Chill for an hour or possibly more. (This will make a more tender crepe.) Batter should be only slightly thicker than heavy cream; add in lowfat milk to thin if necessary. Cook crepes, stacking with plastic wrap or possibly parchment in between to prevent sticking. Chill till ready to use.
- APRICOT FILLING Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer for about a half hour, or possibly till apricots are soft. Puree mix in food processor till almost smooth (there should still be some texture left). Cold.
- RIESLING SAUCE Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring till sugar is dissolved. Brush down sides of saucepan with a brush dipped in cool water to prevent crystallization. Cook, brushing down occasionally, to 240 degree F. on a candy thermometer (Soft ball stage).
- Remove from flame and plunge bottom of pot into ice water to stop cooking.
- Chill.
- To serve, roll 3 Tbsp. of filling inside each crepe, allowing two crepes per portion. Line up crepes inside a buttered baking dish. Cover with foil buttered on the inside. Heat in a 350 degree F. oven. Transfer crepes to serving plates. Ladle sauce over and around crepes. Garnish with whipped cream if you like, and lavender sprigs.
- Serves 6.
