Best South Beach Style Flourless Tortilla Crepe Recipes

SOUTH BEACH STYLE FLOURLESS TORTILLA CREPE

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients with a submersion blender or in a blender (this helps break down the grainy bits of ricotta.
• Heat a non-stick 8" skillet over medium-low heat (I used Calphalon's crepe pan).
• Spray with Pam.
• Pour 1/4 of the mix into skillet - turn pan until coated.
• Cover for 2 minutes (this helps to set the top a bit and makes flipping easier).
• Check crepe to see if bottom is browned.
• Flip when slightly brown.
• cook another 1 - 2 minutes.
• Move to a baking sheet lined with silicone baking mat and into a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes.
• Flip and bake another 5 - 10 minutes move to a cooling rack - cool completely.
• These make a nice roll up - but don't fill too much - they'll break!

HEALTHY LOW-CARB CREPES - SOUTH BEACH DIET

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine flours and salt.
• In small bowl, whisk together apple juice, 1/2 c water, egg, and 2 tsp of margarine. Whisk into flour mixture until smooth batter.
• Melt 1 tsp of remaining margarine in 8" nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Pour 3 Tbs of batter into skillet and tilt to coat the bottom with thin layer of batter. (If too thick, add 1-2 Tbs water).
• Cook the first side for 1 min or until lightly browned. Turn and cook the second side for 30-60 seconds. Slide crepe onto plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Continue making crepes in same fashion, adding the last teaspoon of margarine to pan after making the second crepe.

EASY PIZZA PANCAKES (THICK CREPE STYLE)

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt, make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and half of the milk (or all of the milk if using half water) Whisk until no lumps remain then stir in the rest of the milk (or water if using). If the mixture is too thick, add a little more liquid. Pour into a jug or have a ladle to hand.
• Prepare your toppings so that you're ready to go.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and spray a little oil over the base, your frying pan must have a lid, if not, substitute foil or another lid.
• If you are brave or in a hurry then you could use 2 or 3 frying pans at once!
• Once hot and working quickly, pour enough pancake batter over the base to cover, swirling round as you go (you want them thicker than thin crepes but thinner than american pancakes).
• When the underside is cooked and browned (you can check this by lifting up one of the sides) remove from the heat, flip over and assemble your pizza with the tomato sauce and cheese, sprinkling over black pepper and oregano as you go.
• The first pancake sometimes sticks but it helps to 'season' the pan so don't worry if this happens.
• Return to the heat and put a lid on or cover the pan. In a couple of minutes, the pancake will have cooked and the cheese should have melted.
• Serve immediatly, 1 is never enough so be prepared to allow someone else to stand over the pan once you get tired!
