Lemon crepe Stack - 2010 Calender

[JulieO]

I made this today.  Very easy to do and we really liked it.  I would suggest making double of the lemon curd and use as much as you think, any left over can be used in other ways.  I found the amount in the recipe was not enough for the number of crepes this mixture makes.  I only spread like you would butter, but as I used it up, I had to put less and less on the crepes.  When I bit into the bottom crepes I could really get the lemon curd flavour, really lovely.   I did make with the MC off, and the steamer basket over the hole for about the first 5 mins, then left it bare for the remainder.  Whether that had anything to do with less curd I'm not sure, but I would just double it next time.

Went perfectly with strawberries and I could imagine fresh blueberries being nice also.  4/5

That looks lovely Julie. I haven't looked at my calendar for a while as it isn't hanging up.

[rubyslippers]

That looks delish!  Where do you get the calender from?

[judydawn]

Ask your consultant rubyslippers, she might be able to get one for you.  I love food calendars, never make anything off them but I still love them     JulieO, that looks so good, nice dinner party fare.

DH has had 2 slices - loves it!

Heat shallow crepe pan, butter the pan with a very small amount of butter and pour batter into hot pan.  Never pour batter into unheated pan as it will stick.  Turn over once edges start to lift.

Whilst still warm layer crepes with lemon butter into a spring form cake tin with approx the same diameter as your crepe pan.  Press down firmly and refrigerate with weight on top until completely cold. 
Remove from pan to serve in wedges with whipped cream or mascarpone and fresh berries or fresh fruit of choice.
