CREPES
LUCIFER FILLING
FLAMING LUCIFER SAUCE
CREPES:
Combine flour, salt, eggs and egg yolk. Gradually stir in milk and water. Beat until smooth. Chill for ½ hour. Heat crepe pan until very hot and brush with melted butter. Pour batter to form a very thin layer. Cook until golden brown and then cook other side. (Note from me: I never cook the other side of a crepe.) LUCIFER FILLING:
Whip together cream cheese, chocolate and enough milk to make fluffy filling. Spoon filling in crepes, roll, and serve with Flaming Lucifer Sauce.
FLAMING LUCIFER SAUCE:
Combine butter, sugar, cornstarch and water in large skillet and heat, stirring, over low heat until butter melts. Add 3 tablespoons creme de cacao and simmer 5 minutes. Add remaining creme de cacao and brandy or rum. Ignite and pour over crepes.
From "The Seven Chocolate Sins" by Ruth Moorman & Lalla Williams, 1980.
This book has some great recipes but they are not carefully edited and do contain some obvious mistakes. But I usually read the recipes care- fully and make any adjustments that I think they should have said <grin>. I have tried a few from this book and we loved them all.
BTW, the book is divided into the seven deadly sins; this is from the sin of gluttony (one of my favorite sins...).
