Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut flour (almond or hazelnut)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup mixed seasonal fruit (for roasting)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the nut flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and honey. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Let the crepe batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and settle.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the fruit. Wash and slice the seasonal fruits into uniform pieces, arranging them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle the fruit with a small amount of honey and place in the preheated oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the fruits are caramelized and slightly softened, then remove and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and the surface looks set. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- To serve, fold the crepes and top with the roasted seasonal fruits. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional honey.
Tips
- Choose the Right Nut Flour: Almond flour provides a mild, sweet flavor, while hazelnut flour adds a rich, nutty taste. Feel free to experiment with different nut flours for unique flavor profiles!
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 10 minutes is crucial for achieving smooth, tender crepes. This helps the nut flour absorb the liquid and results in a better texture.
- Perfectly Roasted Fruit: For the best results, use a mix of seasonal fruits like peaches, berries, or apples. The roasting process enhances their natural sweetness, making them the perfect topping for your crepes.
- Non-Stick Cooking: Make sure your skillet is adequately preheated and lightly greased with butter. This prevents the crepes from sticking and ensures they cook evenly.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of elegance, dust your crepes with powdered sugar or drizzle with a bit of honey right before serving. Fresh mint leaves can also add a pop of color and flavor!
