AUSTRIAN TOPFENPALATSCHINKEN - AUSTRIAN SWEET CRêPES



Austrian Topfenpalatschinken - Austrian Sweet Crêpes image

A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 egg yolks plus 2 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons sweet white wine, such as Gewurztraminer
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Confectioners sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put 4 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and zest. Sift together flour and salt; fold into yolk mixture.
  • Spread 1/4 cup batter in a 3-inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat, making 8 circles total. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet. Transfer to a wire rack.
  • Whisk together remaining yolk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the wine in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
  • Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream and poppy seeds into wine mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Transfer whipped-cream mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Hold each crepe, top side down; fold almost in half. Pipe about 1/4 cup whipped-cream mixture into crepe. Dust with confectioners sugar.
