CRISPY CREPES WITH DULCE DE LECHE SAUCE
This recipe originates from "Gourmet" magazine. You will find several Dulce De Leche Sauce recipes here on Zaar. I recommend the one which calls for the following three ingredients: whipping cream, dark brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk. It's very easy to prepare and wonderful also served over fried bananas and/or vanilla ice-cream. But beware: Dulce De Leche is very addictive!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and a few shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Toss immediately with 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a well-seasoned crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet.
- Blend milk, eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth.
- Pour in melted butter, leaving a film of butter in skillet, and blend until well combined.
- Heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and, holding skillet off heat, pour in batter, immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a thin even layer (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly; next crêpe will be better).
- Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45 seconds.
- Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden, about 15 seconds more.
- Sprinkle crêpe lightly with sugar.
- Make more crêpes with remaining batter, stacking them as cooked and lightly sprinkling each with sugar.
- Preheat broiler and butter an 8-inch round flameproof shallow baking dish.
- Heat dulce de leche paste and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth.
- Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Fold crêpes into eighths and arrange in baking dish.
- Sprinkle lightly with sugar, then broil about 6 inches from heat until edges are crispy, about 45 seconds.
- Serve with sauce and pecans.

Steps:
- Put the sugar in a large saucepan. Turn the heat to a medium temperature and carefully melt the sugar. Gently tilt the pan as the sugar melts, rather than stirring, as it will adhere to a spoon or spatula.
- When the sugar is melted, add the butter and stir into the sugar. It will bubble, so take care. Next, add the milk a little at a time, stirring continuously.
- Finally, add the can of condensed milk and stir well until it is fully incorporated. Keep stirring as the dulce de leche bubbles and thickens over a medium heat. It will need a further 5-10 mins of cooking. It will turn a darker shade of brown and take on a slight orange-red hue as it darkens. It should be thick enough to leave a clear channel in the pan when a spoon is run through and then add a pinch of salt. It will firm up as it cools. The dulce de leche can be stored in a jar in the fridge and will keep for up to a month. If not storing in a jar ensure it's covered so a skin doesn't form.

HOMEMADE DULCE DE LECHE
Below are two different ways to make this delicious caramel spread: One is more classic-cooking down milk and sugar-but it requires a fair amount of attention and stirring. The other uses sweetened condensed milk and a long, though mostly unattended, time in the oven.

Steps:
- Classic menthod:
- Stir together 4 cups milk, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and thickened, about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. (After about an hour, stir more often as milk caramelizes, to avoid burning.) Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
- Sweetened condensed milk method:
- Heat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Pour the contents of 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and cover tightly with foil. Set plate in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up pie plate. Bake milk in middle of oven 45 minutes. Check water level and add additional, if necessary, then continue to bake 45 minutes more, or until milk is thick and brown. Remove pie plate from water bath and cool, uncovered. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
