Fixing rhubarb this way brings a spring "zing" to the table. I adapted this crepe recipe, which originally featured strawberry jelly, from one I loved as a child. My husband declared it a "winner". He even came up with its name.

Creamy Rhubarb Crepes Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + standing Cook: 20 min.

Yield: 5 Servings

15 20 35

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Additional butter
SAUCE/FILLING:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups thinly sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar and salt. Beat in flour until smooth; let stand for 30 minutes.
Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in an 8-in. nonstick skillet. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center of skillet; lift and turn pan to cover bottom. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Remove to a wire rack; cover with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.
Meanwhile, for sauce, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a saucepan. Stir in rhubarb. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and rhubarb is tender. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.
For filling, in a bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the rhubarb sauce until smooth and creamy. Place a rounded tablespoonful on each crepe; fold in half and in half again, forming a triangle. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with remaining sauce. Yield: 10 crepes.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

I have started cutting down the amount of wheat in my diet, and these have been an answer to prayer! I cut the recipe in 1/3 and it makes me four perfect crepes. Perfect breakfast to fill with just about anything. I think the key here (where I have failed miserably in the past) is to let them stand for 30 minutes. I've filled them with fried green tomatoes, roasted winter squash, baked apples and almonds... love them!

I made these for my wife and I and really liked them. Again, to take to a gathering of friends and GREAT was the only word I heard. I did use a larger volume of rhubarb for more sauce! They are great!!
