  • put in flour, salt, sugar, spices – mix about a bit
  • make a dip in the middle and add egg and vanilla, mix and slowly bring in some of the flour from the side
  • pour milk in slowly, mixing and bringing in the flour from around the edge, make the mixture smooth before adding more milk and then mixing the flour into it
  • when everything is mixed in and the mixture is runny, leave for a few minutes so that all the bubbles rise to the top
  • Make the pan hot on the stove, rub butter or oil over it and then put a few spoonfulls into the pan, spreading it out so it is thin
  • cook, put on plate – slather in tasty topping and enjoy!

Suggested toppings include: slices of strawberries, sprinkle of caster sugar and lemon squeezed over, nutella spread over with sliced bananna – hmms tasty crepes!

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni

by azyure on Jul.20, 2009, under My Favourite Recipes

  • Cannelloni tubes
  • 500g ricotta cheese
  • 500g spinich (frozen is fine)
  • parmesan cheese
  • 2 x egg yolks (or full eggs – your choice)
  • salt & papper
  • basil & oregano
  • nutmeg
  • grated cheese
  • Tin of tomatoes
  • Pasta sauce (something thick and tasty)
  • tomato paste (optional – just makes sauce thicker)
  • Garlic cloves (2-3 depending on how you like it)
  • Baking dish (deep is good), mixing bowl, deep frying pan
  • Heat oven to 200 degrees

Cannelloni filling:

- Mix ricotta, eggs, spinch together, add salt/papper/nutmeg/garlic/basil/oregano to taste, add some parmesan and a handful of grated cheese (more if you want it more cheesey)
- Once mixed, spoon/push/use icing piper to fill cannalloni tubes
- Place in baking dish

Pasta sauce:

- Mix in heated pan on stove – tinned tomatoes, pasta sauce, tomato paste, garlic – season to taste and heat for a few minutes to thicken/mix the sauce.
- Pour sauce completly over cannelloni (to cook properly the cannelloni needs to be covered)

To finish – cover in cheese and put in heated oven for 30 minutes (just check cannelloni is soft before dishing out)!

Great with garlic bread and salad!
