Raspberry Cream Tartlets
Shifflett Kids, Richmond, VAPhoto of raspberry tarts.

¼ cup finely chopped peanuts
½ cup finely crushed chocolate cookie wafers
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1/8 cup sugar

6 oz. raspberries
8 oz. marscapone cheese, softened
½ tsp. honey

Moon Cakes (Swedish pancakes) with Fresh Fruit and Whipped Cream
From The Dalton Girls, Richmond, VA

1/2 cup flour
1 tsp.  baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs

1 tsp. butter
1 cup milk

Melt butter in a 2-cup glass measuring cup in the microwave for 25 seconds. Pour 1 cup of milk in the measuring cup with the butter and microwave for 10 more seconds. Whisk the eggs into the liquid. Mix together the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Whisk the milk/butter/eggs mixture into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.

Spray cooking spray in an 8" omelet pan, preheat the pan then pour in just enough of the batter to cover the pan. Cook the first side until you can see small bubbles or holes in the pancake. It is done when it's light brown on one side and resembles moon craters on the other. The pancakes should be thin.

Place the pancakes on a plate, stuff with fresh-cut strawberries. Fold in half and top with confectioners sugar and homemade whipped cream.  If you want to make a batch of pancakes and serve them all at once, put a piece of parchment paper between each and keep the stack warm in the oven at 250° F. Makes 12 pancakes.
