(4 servings)
   
		- some crepes*
 - 
1 12-oz jar of sweet orange marmalade
 - 
1/3 cup heavy cream

		Make crepes.  Butter them lightly and fold them into squares or triangles, or roll into tubes. Place 3 each on warmed plates.  
 
Heat marmalade and cream in a medium saucepan, stirring together until thoroughly mixed and warmed. Do not boil the mixture.
  
When warmed, spoon over crepes. Garnish with slices of orange and serve.
  
 
* To make crepes:
  
1 cup all-purpose flour 
2 large eggs 
1/2 cup low-fat milk 
1/2 cup water 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
2 Tablespoons melted butter
  
Whisk the flour and the eggs together in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and the water.  Add the salt and butter, and beat the mixture until smooth. 
 
If you have a crepe maker, you probably know what to do next.  If you're not so lucky... 
Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium.  Give it a very light spray of cooking oil.  Drop the crepe mixture onto the heated surface. Using about a 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. "Thin is in" when it comes to the layer of batter.  
 
Cook each side until the golden brown brown (about 2 minutes for side one -- batter will bubble; and 1 minute for side 2).  Gently remove and place on a plate. Place waxed paper between cooked crepes to prevent sticking. 
 
This will make 8 crepes. 2 crepes make a serving.
