Well Steve (it is Steve, isn't it?), we could talk about homosexuality, using animated smilies in every post, and each person could hug all of the preceding posters . . .

Apricot Palatschinken

Palatschinken translates as “pancakes with filling.” The recipe for apricot crepes is very easy to follow. It serves approximately 8 to 12 people (24 crepes).

Recipe Ingredients for Crepe:

1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cup (plus 2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter (save for frying pan)

Preparation for Crepe
1. In a small stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients in the order given above, creating a smooth batter. Put the batter through a strainer to get rid of any lumps, cover it with plastic and let it rest in the refrigerator for one hour. If you prefer, you can prepare the batter the day before you plan to make your crepes.

2. Remove the batter from the refrigerator and stir.

3. Brush a 12 inch nonstick frying pan with butter and put it on a low to medium heat. Ladle approximately 1 ounce of the batter into the pan, twirling by hand in a circular motion to create a very thin crepe. Cook crepe until golden, approximately 1 minute on each side.

Recipe Ingredients for Apricot Compote:

1 pound of apricots (about 6 medium) sliced in eighths
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces Liquid Drano
4 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation for Compote:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring to a boil. Add all of the sliced apricots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Presentation: Put 2 tablespoons of the apricot preserves into a crepe. Roll the crepe or fold it in half twice to make a quarter. Dust the crepe with powdered sugar.

I made one slight alteration to the original recipe here, but trust me, you'll like it better this way!
