Best Crepe With Fruit Flambe Filling Recipes

STRAWBERRY CREPES FLAMBE

Steps:

• Fold crepes in quarters. Heat in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high, flipping once, until warm and crisp, 5 minutes; divide between 2 plates.
• Return skillet to heat; melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in packed light-brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt; cook, swirling pan, until darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add halved strawberries; cook until tender, 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add silver rum.
• To flambe, return skillet to medium-high heat. If using a gas burner, carefully tilt pan away from you to ignite; if using an electric burner, use a lit long match held just above the sauce. When flame subsides (5 to 10 seconds), spoon strawberries over crepes. Return skillet to medium-high heat and reduce sauce until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes; pour over crepes. Whisk heavy cream until thickened slightly. Drizzle over crepes; serve.

FLAMBEED CREPES WITH MASCARPONE AND CHERRIES

Steps:

• For the filling: In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone, chocolate chips, sugar, and pinch of cinnamon. Set aside. If making more than 2 hours ahead, reserve in the refrigerator but let come to room temperature before serving.
• For the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and a splash of water. Cook until the cherries have let off their juices and the flavor has concentrated, 10 to 12 minutes. When done, the cherries should be very sweet and the juice should be syrupy. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• To assemble: Schmear some of the mascarpone/chocolate mixture, about 1/4-inch thick, onto the lower half of a crepe. Fold the top half over the bottom to create a perfect half circle and press to secure. Fold the crepe in half again, to create a loose triangle. Repeat this process with remaining 7 crepes.
• Heat the pan with the cherry sauce over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Be careful not to burn the sauce. Pour the kirsch into a measuring cup with a spout and carefully pour into the cherry sauce. Turn off the heat and carefully light the sauce using a long lighter. Allow the flames to burn off.
• To serve, arrange 2 crepe triangles on each serving plate and spoon the warm flambeed cherries over the top.
• Sa- weeeeeet!
• Batter:
• In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk, club soda and 3 tablespoons of melted butter into the center of the well and whisk together until just combined. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, whisk in a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Crepes:
• Melt about a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick saute pan. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan, if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
• Put the pan over medium heat. Fill a 2-ounce ladle, almost to the top, with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan, as you ladle the batter, to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice, even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
• When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares. Repeat this process, until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter to the pan, as needed. Yield: 18 crepes

CRêPES WITH FLAMBéED PEACHES

Steps:

• Lightly brush a crêpe with melted butter and warm in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, 15 to 30 seconds. Flip and fold over twice to form a triangle, then transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining crêpes.
• Sauté the peaches in the butter and sugar in the same skillet over medium-high heat until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Carefully add the rum to the skillet and use a long lighter to ignite. Cook until the alcohol burns off, then stir in the lime juice. Spoon the peaches over the crêpes.
