LEMON CREPES



Lemon Crepes image

The taste of lemon is a little like the shift in the air when the season starts to turn from chilly to warm-refreshing and deliciously unpredictable. In this dish, paper-thin crepes are topped with slices of candied lemon and drizzled with a caramel sauce that includes limoncello, a vibrant lemon liqueur.

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus about 1 tablespoon, melted, for pan
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup milk (not skim)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
Lemon-Caramel Sauce
Candied Lemon Slices

Steps:

  • Bring 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat; add 6 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, whisking until butter is completely melted.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, and eggs. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Whisk in butter mixture. Pour batter through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard lumps. Transfer batter to an airtight container; refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Lightly coat a 6-to 7-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with melted butter. Heat over medium heat until just starting to smoke. Remove pan from heat; pour 2 to 3 tablespoons batter (depending on size of pan) in center. Swirl to cover bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low; return pan to heat. Cook until edges of crepe turn golden and center is dry, about 45 seconds. Flip crepe; cook until underside is brown in spots, about 45 seconds more.
  • Slide crepe onto an ovenproof plate; cover with foil, and transfer to oven. Repeat process with remaining batter, coating pan with more butter as needed.
  • Fold each crepe into quarters to form a triangle. Arrange 3 crepes on each plate; drizzle with lemon-caramel sauce and garnish with candied lemon slices.

LEMON CREPES WITH HONEY AND FROMAGE BLANC

These delicate filled crepes get their mild sweetness from honey, their tang from fromage blanc, and their tartness from a little lemon zest and juice.

Classic Crepes
Fromage blanc or creme fraiche
Finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Spread some fromage blanc or creme fraiche on a large crepe. Sprinkle with a pinch of finely grated lemon zest, and drizzle with honey to taste. Fold crepe in half, and drizzle with more honey. Repeat to make more crepes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, so the balance of sweet and sour can be easily adjusted.

Categories     dessert

Time 7m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

32 ounces fromage blanc
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup good honey
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
Vanilla seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
Ripe stone fruit such as peaches, nectarines, plums
Berries such as raspberries and strawberries
Citrus fruit such as oranges, cut in segments
Raspberry Sauce

Steps:

  • Stir the fromage blanc, cream, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To assemble, spoon the fromage blanc mixture into shallow bowls. Place the fruit artfully on top and drizzle the dessert with raspberry sauce. Serve with extra raspberry sauce on the side. I find that some people like it less sweet with just a drizzle of sauce while others prefer more sauce.
