2 MEDIUM CREPES  
Eggs  
1/4 Cup Milk  
Tablespoon Melted unsalted butter  
Cup Sifted flour  
Salt; to taste  
Freshly−ground white pepper; to taste  
For crepes, combine the whole eggs, milk, butter, flour until smooth. Add  
salt and pepper to taste. Heat a 7 1/2−inch crepe pan. Lightly oil the pan.  
Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter in the center of the pan. Tilt pan from  
left to right to cover entire surface. Cook the crepe until the edges begin  
to brown and flip cook until done. Remove from the pan. Using a hand−held  
blender, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, 1/4 cup of  
the sugar, powdered sugar, juice of two lemons, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of  
the lemon zest. Beat until smooth. Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of the  
filling. Roll the crepes up tightly and place in the refrigerator.  
Refrigerate for 1 hour. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the  
butter with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, stirring constantly until the  
sugar dissolves. Add the remaining juice of six lemons and 1 tablespoon of  
lemon zest. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add the crepes to the mixture. Remove  
the pan from the heat and add the cognac. Carefully place the pan, back over  
the heat and flame the mixture, shaking the pan back and fourth several  
times. Continue to shake until the flame dies out. Lay three crepes in the  
center of each plate. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve. This recipe  
yields 4 servings.
