Cream Cheese Filling

So we wanted Cream cheese filling for our Crepes, so we called our favorite recipe book- (mommy-in-law).

So we mixed:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 to 2 dash of vanilla, and almond powder flavoring

1 tsp of lemon juice

Mixed it well and eat it with Raspberries on our Dessert Crepes.... Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we did!!!

We liked them so much, we want to make them tomorrow for Breakfast!!!!

Yummy Crepes

Our friends had us over a couple weekends ago, and they feed us crepes. Since then we have wanted more, so we decided to make them!! So we looked all over the Internet and we finally found one that we liked and wanted to try

Dessert Crepes:

Ingredients

• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/3 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour sugar and salt until smooth.
2. Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately. 

Recipe for Baked Cinnamon Apple Donuts

Ingredients:
2 packets dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup applesauce
3 TBS butter or margarine, melted
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Topping:
1/2 cup butter melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 TBS cinnamon

Directions:
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl, allowing it to sit 5 to 10 minutes.
Then add the sugar, applesauce, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, beaten eggs, and 3 cups of the flour. Beat it at low speed with an electric mixer or by hand until mixture is moistened throughout, then beat at medium speed for another minute.
Stir in 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, adding it until you've formed a soft dough. The consistency of the dough is more important than the exact amount of flour you use. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead it about 5 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl coasted with cooking spray, then lightly spray the top. cover it with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour. It will have almost doubled in size bu then. Punch dough down, and then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough to 1/2- inch thickness, and then cut it with your donut cutter.
Place the donuts and holes on greased baking sheets, then brush the tops of the donuts with some of the melted butter. Let the donuts rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes.
Bake the donuts at 425 degrees for 11 minutes or until they are golden. Immediately brush melted butter over baked donuts as soon as you take them out, and then dip the donuts into the sugar-cinnamon mix.

Then Enjoy!!!

I found this recipe when I was reading Glazed Murder by Jessica Beck. I love mystery books that deal with food and recipes. This book was from part of a series called the Donut Shop Mysteries. If you like cupcakes you should try the series Cupcake Bakery Mystery by Jennifer McKinlay. Those books have some awesome recipes that I have tried and my family loves. Happy Reading and Baking!!! 

Autumn Delight

Made some Baked Cinnamon Apple Donuts. Found this recipe a while a go, but finally made them. Reminds me of Autumn with the smell of apples and cinnamon. Plus I loved how they are baked, so less fat than frying them. :) or at least I hope so because I ate a lot of them!!!
