Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 cups blueberries, blackberries and/or raspberries
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 16 teaspoons reduced-sugar apricot preserves

Directions

  • Sprinkle sugar over berries; gently toss to mix. Cover and refrigerate. In a blender, combine the milk, egg, egg whites and extracts; cover and process until blended. Add the flour and cornmeal; cover and process until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Coat a 7-in. skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a plate; keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, coating with additional cooking spray as needed.

This was fantastic - I loved the taste of the almond extract in the crepes, combined with the jam and berries. Will definitely make it again.
