GREEK YOGURT BREAKFAST TORTILLA CREPES WITH FRUIT SAUCE.

GREEK YOGURT BREAKFAST TORTILLA CREPES WITH  BLUE BERRY SAUCE.

Say What?!?!    Tortillla Crepes?   Yup! Tortilla Crepes and they're oh so yummy.

These are beyond yummy, once you try these, they will be an instant favorite.  I tend to make them for special occasions because they are some what rich, but that is not a bad thing in this case.   And you can use any type of seasonal fruit of berries you like. 

Here we go:

INGREDIENTS:
For Tortillas:
2 cups Bread flour or All purpose flour.
6 oz of milk warmed.  
4 Tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt.
1 Teaspoon of baking soda.
1 to 2 Tablespoons olive oil optional. 
&
1 or 2 Eggs
1 Cup of blues berries or your choice.
1 Tablespoons of sugar.
2 Tablespoons of water
Extra yogurt for garnish. 
Powdered sugar for garnish.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

FIRST: MAKING TORTILLAS

Have ready a rolling pin, flour for dredging and all so a pan for cooking tortillas.  

1. Pour two cups of flour into a medium bowl and mix in 1 teaspoon of baking power.

2. Gently warm milk on stove and then add olive oil to it and mix it in. (Milk should not be hot)  


3.  Pour half of the milk and two table spoons yogurt into the flour, cut in with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Add the rest of the milk and the yogurt and keep turning bowl and cutting in until you get a rough ball.

4.  Lightly sprinkle flour over dough and now pick up the edge and fold it over and push down with your knuckles. Turn bowl and repeat as you do this and add light dusting of flour until the dough stops sticking to your fingers.  If the dough is wet add more flour until the dough is slightly tacky. Tacky is ok. Because after it is done resting you be dredging it in flour again.

5. Rest dough 25 minutes.

6.  Next divided the dough into 8 or more walnut size balls.   Lightly flour them to keep them from sticking.

7. Turn the burner to low.  Let it warm up a little as you shape the tortillas.

 8.  Pick a ball up and squish it into a round disk using both your index fingers and thumbs.  Dredged the round in flour and then lay it out on the cutting board.  Use the rolling pin and flatten the disk pushing away from you and turning the disks as you make it bigger.  Sprinkle flour on the board as needed. When you have a  good size tortilla place it in the pan.

9. Give the pan a little shake to keep the tortilla from sticking. Watch the top of the tortilla and you should start to see little air pockets fill and raise up. Use a metal spatula to check the bottom of  the tortilla. As soon as you see light tan spots, flip your tortilla over and cook until more light tan spot appear.  When both sides have tan spots on both sides your tortilla is done.

10. Stack finished tortillas on plate and use right away.  Or cool and put in the refrigerator  They will be ok for up to 3 days then you must freeze them. Or wrap in foil and freeze right away.

SECOND:  DIPPING AND COOKING

Have your pan ready by having it sprayed with Pam or a dab of butter melted. (cooking spray work a little bit better in this case.)  But if you have a really good non stick pan that great. Turn the burner to low or medium low.
Break one egg in to a large dish, big enough to hold a flat tortilla.  Dip the tortilla and move it around until one side is completely covered in egg and flip and do the same to the other side. Then with a metal prongs  move to your pan to cook.
As you cook the tortilla watch the color of the egg, when the egg on the outside is cooked on both side the tortilla is done.   And if need be turn down or up the stove if you feel the heat is too low or the flour tortilla is cooking to fast.
Put finished tortillas on a oven proof plate and keep in a warm oven until all are finished.

THIRD:  COOKING BLUE BERRIES.

Add blue berries, water, and sugar to pan and turn on Medium high. Bring to a boil on Medium high and then quickly turn down to low and simmer for about 2 minutes.

FOURTH: ASSEMBLING TORTILLA CREPE. 

Take one cooked Tortilla and lay flat on a plate, spoon some blue berries down the middle then fold in half.  Add a Tablespoon of yogurt on top with a bit more berries and syrup and then Sprinkle with powdered sugar.


DIG IN AND Mmmmmmmmmm
