Best Spicy Crespelle Pancakes Recipes

SPICY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks.
• Add remaining ingredients, except egg whites and garnish, and beat until smooth.
• gently fold in egg whites.
• Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto hot greased griddle.
• Turn pancakes when they ar puffed and full of bubbles, but before bubbles break.
• Cook other side until golden.
• Garnish with sifted icing sugar and lemon rind strips.

EASY CRêPES

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.

CRESPELLE WITH RICOTTA AND MARINARA ( CREPES )

Steps:

• Make the crespelle:
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the salt.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Whisk in the melted butter until just blended.
• Cover the batter and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat.
• With a paper towel, rub the skillet with olive oil.
• Pour in 1/4 cup of the crespelle batter and tilt the skillet to distribute the batter.
• Cook the crespella until golden brown on the bottom, 2 minutes.
• Flip and cook until browned in spots, 1 minute longer.
• Invert the crespella onto a baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, rubbing the pan with oil as needed.
• You should have 8 crespelle.
• Make the filling:
• Preheat the oven to 375°.
• In a medium bowl, blend the ricotta with the chopped parsley and 1/3 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Season the filling with salt and pepper.
• Lay the 8 crespelle on a work surface.
• Spread 2 rounded tablespoons of the ricotta filling over half of each crespella.
• Fold the crespelle over the filling, then fold them in half again to form quarters.
• Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Arrange the filled crespelle in the dish in a single layer, overlapping them slightly.
• Top with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling; serve.
