Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs and butter. Combine the flour, sugar and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth; set aside., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. , Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. Stack crepes with waxed paper between. Cover and freeze 10 crepes for another use. Crepes may be frozen for up to 3 months., Pipe filling onto the center of each remaining crepe. Top with 2 tablespoons pie filling. Fold side edges of crepe to the center. Drizzle with fudge topping and garnish with whipped topping. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a bowl place the egg yolks and vinegar over a medium saucepan of simmering water, whisking yolks and vinegar constantly. When reached a ribbon pattern consistency while continuing to whisk, remove from the heat. Whisk in melted butter slowly and season with salt and lemon juice.;
• Crepe Parmentier:
• In a mixing bowl, combine potato puree, flour, cream, eggs, and salt and mix well. Pass through a fine sieve to ensure there are no lumps. Heat 4 roesti pans with a teaspoon of oil in each. Spoon the mixture evenly into each pan once hot. Cook until edges become golden brown. Take the pans off the heat and place into a hot oven. Bake for about 8 to10 minutes and then finish under the salamander to get an even golden color.
• Serve with Hollandaise sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the mascarpone, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside. If making more than 2 hours ahead reserve in the refrigerator but let come to room temperature before serving. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, lemon zest and juice and a splash of water. Cook until the cherries have let off their juice and the flavor has concentrated, about 10 to 12 minutes. When done the cherries should be very sweet and the juice should be syrupy.
• To assemble:
• Schmear some of the mascarpone/chocolate mixture, about 1/4-inch thick, onto the lower half of a crepe. Fold the top half over the bottom to create a perfect half circle and press to secure. Fold the crepe in half again, to create a loose triangle. Repeat this process with remaining 7 crepes. To serve, arrange 2 triangles on each serving plate and spoon the stewed cherries over the tops.
• Batter: In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk, club soda and 3 tablespoons of melted butter into the center of the well and whisk together until just combined. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, whisk in a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Crepes:
• Melt about a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick saute pan. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan, if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
• Put the pan over medium heat. Fill a 2-ounce ladle, almost to the top, with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan, as you ladle the batter, to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice, even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
• When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares. Repeat this process, until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter to the pan, as needed.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine pie filling and brandy. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in butter 1 piece at a time until melted. Remove from heat. Set aside 6 cherries, for garnish.
• Divide the filling among the 6 crepes and roll or fold crepes. Top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and garnish with a sprig of mint and reserved cherries.

Steps:

• Filling:.
• Combine sugar and flour, add milk and cook stirring until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Beat eggs and egg yolks slightly. Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the beaten eggs then return all to the custard mixture. Cook and stir just until boiling. Remove from heat. Beat smooth and stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover with wax paper and let cool.
• Brandied Cherry Sauce:.
• Combine ingredients and heat over low heat. Keep warm.
• Crepes:.
• Beat eggs to blend. Add milk, melted butter, and flour. Beat till smooth. Lightly grease an 8 inch skillet. Heat the skillet. Remove from heat and pour in about 3 tablespoons of crepe batter. Swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly into a thin smooth circle. Return skillet to heat and cook crepe on one side only. Flip cooked crepe onto a sheet of wax paper. From this point on always place 2 thicknesses of wax paper between each crepe to prevent form sticking and tearing.
• When ready to serve, fill crepes with custard and roll. Place seam side down in an oven proof baking dish. Pat a little butter on top of each crepe and warm in a 350 degree oven. Heat cherry mixture. Heat some additional brandy, flame and pour into cherry mixture. Pour some of the cherry mixture over each crepe to serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine pie filling and almond extract; cover and refrigerate until chilled. For crepes, place the milk, eggs, butter, almonds and flour in a blender; cover and process until smooth. , Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour about 2 tablespoons batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry and bottom is golden brown; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. Stack cooled crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between., For the filling, in a mixing bowl, beat cream and melted chocolate until soft peaks form. Spoon about 2 tablespoons over each crepe; roll up. Top with cherry mixture and sprinkle with slivered almonds.

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt together into mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with eggs to form a thick paste. Gradually add milk, whisk until smooth-DO NOT OVER BEAT. Batter will have the consistency of thick cream. Cover bowl and refrigerate 2 hours or more (overnight.) Brush a hot crepe pan, 6½ to 7 inches in diameter, with butter or oil. Pour in 1½ to 2 Tbsp batter, tipping pan to coat it with a thin layer. When edge of crepe starts to brown, turn crepe and brown other side. Repeat process, adding oil or butter as needed. If you over beat the batter, it became foamy and if you cooked crepes with foamy batter you ended up with lots of tiny air holes in the crepes. Also, after the batter was strained it was to sit in the walk-in for several hours so that all the air would rise to the top and be eliminated. You're correct-it was strained to assure no lumps. Prepare Filling by beating cheese with sour cream. Mix in sugar, lemon juice and almond extract to blend thoroughly. Chill Prepare sauce by measuring cherry syrup and adding enough water to make 1 cup. Combine with sugar and lemon juice, bring to a simmer over medium heat. Mix cornstarch with ¼ cup water. Stir cornstarch mixture into simmering syrup mixture. Cook and stir about 5 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in cherries, brandy, and almond extract; remove from heat and set aside. Spread about 2 tsp filling on half of each crepe. Fold each in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Place on lightly buttered baking sheet; heat 3-4 minutes in a 350º F oven just to heat through. (You can also microwave these for 22 seconds.) Place 2 filled crepes overlapping slightly on warmed individual serving plate. Spoon hot cherry mixture-if necessary, reheat slowly, stirring gently- over each serving. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately.
