Here’s how to cook “Crepes Italiana”

Ingredients:

2 eggs
250g WHITE KING HOTCAKE & WAFFLE MIX
1 ¼ cups water
½ cup WHITE KING Butterfresh Margarine (divided, melt half for crepe batter)
¼ kg ground beef
2 tbsp. olive oil
¼ cup onions, chopped
1 tsp. garlic, minced

1 cup tomatoes, peeled and chopped
½ cup tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried basil or 1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp. WHITE KING All Purpose Flour
1 cup Selecta Moo Fresh Milk
1 cup soup stock
1 cup quickmelt cheese, grated
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Beat eggs until frothy. Add WHITE KING Hotcake & Waffle Mix, water and melted margarine, blend well.

2. Heat a non – stock skillet and lightly brush with oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter then swirl until pan is evenly covered. Crepe is done when edges are brown and top is dry. Do not turn crepe, just invert over wax – lined paper.

3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, saute for 3 minutes.

4. Add ground beef and cook for 5 – 10 minutes until browned. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce and herbs. Mix well; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 12 minutes over low heat.

5. Meanwhile, prepare white sauce by melting remaining margarine in another saucepan. Add flour and stir. Gradually pour milk and stock; cook to thicken while stirring constantly over low heat, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.

6. Spread mixture over crepes and fold into quarters to shape into a pouch similar to ravioli. Place in buttered baking dish. Cover with white sauce and top with cheese. Bake in 350ºF preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden.
