Ingredients


the recipe makes 4 crêpes and serves 4 as side dish or 6 for a buffet
for the crêpes:
100g all purpose flour
100ml beetroot juice
2 eggs
120 -150ml milk
1/2 tsp salt
oil for the pan
for the filling:
200g cream cheese
3 tbs fresh grated horseradish ( it also works fine with canned horseradish )
salt
pepper
Preparing the Crêpes




mix flour, eggs, salt, flour, beetrootjuice and milk to a lean and smooth consistensy
heat a mid sized pan and oil it slightly
bake 4 thin, pink pancakes not to dark
- you'll need about 100ml dough for one pancake
stack the crêpes on a plate so they don't harden
set aside and let them cool
Horseradish Filling




peel the horseradish with a sharp knife
grate it finely ( that might bring some tears - and don't touch your eyes! :D )
you can store the rest of the horseradish grated in a glass in the freezer.
mix 3 tbs ( or more if you dare) with the cream cheese
add salt and pepper as you desire
the mixture will increase taste if prepared ahead - horseradish is very aromatic and the mustard oils can be quite harsh to your nose and eyes - I really like the effect :o)
Spread , Roll , Cut



spread the filling thin on the crêpes
roll them as tight as possible
cut diagonally with a sharp knife
clean the knife before every cut for a better result.
Serve and Enjoy


enjoy the swirls and experience how well
beetroot and horseradish complement each other.
experiment with curcuma or spinach powder instead of beetroot to get yellow and green crêpes
thaks for spending your time reading the recipe!
