Banana and Yogurt Crepes

1 3/4 cups low-fat (1 percent) milk
3/4 cup flour
1 egg
1 egg white
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, divided
1 container (8 ounces) low-fat banana or vanilla yogurt
1 banana, diced
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh mint sprigs, optional
Powdered sugar, optional

Whisk together milk, flour, egg, egg whites and 1 tablespoon of honey in a medium bowl. Allow batter to rest five minutes at room temperature.

Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup batter into skillet; quickly tilt and swirl batter to coat bottom of skillet. When crepe is lightly browned at edges, use a thin spatula to loosen and turn over. Cook turned crepe about 20 seconds or until lightly browned; slide onto plate to cool. Continue making crepes with remaining batter. To prevent sticking, place a piece of wax paper between each crepe.

Puree yogurt, vanilla and remaining honey in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add diced banana. Spread each crepe with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture. Roll crepes into cylinders. Place two crepes on each serving plate and garnish with mint sprigs, if desired. Makes four servings.

"Yogurt Marinade" - 1 cup

2 mashed cloves garlic
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 tsp. ground anise seed

Combine all ingredients in a bowl; stir. Use to marinate any lamb cut. If you're roasting a leg of lamb, baste it during the cooking with the marinade.


"Yogurt-Garlic Salad Dressing" - 3 cups

1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 mashed cloves garlic
2 tsp. salt
2 egg yolks
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 tbsp. water
2 cups salad oil or olive oil
1 tsp. prepared mustard, Dijon if possible

Mix together all ingredients except yogurt, tomato paste and water. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or blend at low speed with an electric mixer. Stir in the yogurt and tomato paste. Thin with water as desired, up to 3 tbsp. Refrigerate before serving.


"Herb-Yogurt Sauce" - 1 cup

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 tsp. dill weed
2 tbsp. white tarragon vinegar
1 cup plain yogurt
Pinch garlic salt
Pinch pepper

Put the parsley, scallions, vinegar, and half of the yogurt in a blender; blend at high speed for 30 seconds. Or mix in a bowl at high speed with an electric mixer. Gently fold in the remaining yogurt, dill weed and seasonings. Use for fish or seafood, especially shrimp or salmon.
(Note: Yogurt can be used in your favorite sauce or dressing recipes as a substitute for sour cream and buttermilk, and even as a partial substitute for mayonnaise. For buttermilk, thin yogurt with a little water so that the consistency is more like that of milk. When replacing mayonnaise in a recipe, use half yogurt and half mayonnaise.)


"Yogurt Pancakes"

1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs; well beaten
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the milk slowly to the beaten egg; stir in the melted butter. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, beating with a whisk or electric beater until the batter is smooth and bubbly. This recipe makes about 6 thin pancakes of the french type. If you have a standard 6" crepe pan to cook them in, fine. If not, use about two tablespoons of batter in a larger, buttered pan. Serve filled with creamed meat or vegetables. For dessert or breakfast crepes, add 2 tablespoons sugar to the batter.


"Yogurt Shake"

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup crushed ice
2 tbsp. honey
3/4 cup sliced fresh fruit

Mix all ingredients at medium speed in a blender for 2 minutes. You can also use dried fruits such as raisins or apricots, and even nuts, if you like. A blender is essential for this one.


"Yogurt Ice Cream"

2 cups fresh fruit; sliced
1 1/2 cups yogurt
4 tbsp. honey
1/2 cup milk

Combine all ingredients and blend in an electric blender until smooth. Apples should be cooked first with water, sugar and cinnamon. For orange ice cream, use orange juice instead of milk. Pour the mixture into a freezer tray and freeze for several hours. Stir once or twice while freezing to prevent crystalization.
