CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON image

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crepes:
1 cup quick mix flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cold water
3 eggs beaten
3 or 4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for pan (butter for pan not needed if non stick griddle)
Pinch of salt
Smoked Salmon and Sauce:
1 cup sour cream, greek yogurt or creme fraiche
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 minced dill
2 tablespoons snipped chives
2 tablespoons chopped capers
Salt and ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon
thinly sliced red onion
Caper berries for garnish (optional)

Steps:

In a medium bowl, add all of the crepe batter ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Expect the batter to be thinner than normal pancake batter. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. Lightly brush a 6 inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet with melted butter and put over medium high heat. Ladle a few tablespoons of the batter into the center of the hot pan. Lift the pan, removing it from the heat and swirl so the batter coats the bottom of the pan in an even layer that's as thin as possible. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges are crisp and the batter loses its shine, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. using a nonstick spatula, flip the crepe and continue cooking on the other side, another 45 seconds. If you imagine your crepe to be divided into quarters, you only want to add filling to the bottom corner in order for it to fold properly. Combine the sour cream or creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, chives and capers in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once you have all the steps complete, build your crepe and enjoy. Drizzle sauce on top. See photo at: http://www.beaugureaustudios.blogspot.ca/2013/03/ricotta-crepes-with-smoked-salmon.html
