Souffléd Crepes Recipes

STUFFED CREPES

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup ricotta with 2 tablespoons sugar. Spread 8 prepared 12-inch crepes with the sweetened ricotta and fold into quarters. Top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with warm chocolate sauce.

GRAND MARNIER CREPE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, butter, heavy cream, sugar, orange liqueur and orange zest in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in both flours until incorporated and a pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a 9-inch nonstick crepe pan over medium heat, then add a thin layer of batter (about 1 cup). Spread around the pan to cover. Cook until the top is dry and edges begin to curl up, about 1 minute. Flip and cook another minute. Repeat to make additional crepes using all the batter. Set aside.
• For the souffle batter: Combine the heavy cream, butter, orange liqueur, flour, brown sugar and orange zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolks into the warm mixture in a steady stream. Set aside.
• Place the egg whites in a stand mixer and beat to soft peaks using the whisk attachment. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
• Place a crepe on a parchment paper-lined rimmed sheet tray. Spoon a 4-ounce ladle of souffle batter in the middle. Fold in half, like a taco. Repeat with the remaining crepes and souffle batter. Bake until the souffle filling puffs up a little, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with orange zest.

SPICED SOUFFLé CREPE WITH SAUTéED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 12-inch iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the thyme sprigs over medium-high heat. Add the apples and brown on all sides until just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cook, gently stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the apples caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the thyme and set the apples aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pod and seeds with the melted butter, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cake flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the milk until combined.
• Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whip to soft peaks, and then fold into the batter.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the clean skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the butter up the sides of the pan. When the butter is foamy, spread the sauteed apples in the pan, then pour in the batter. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered until the center of crepe no longer wobbles when shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar on top, and if you like, serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.

SOUFFLED CREPES

Steps:

• These proportions make an eggier-tasting crepe.
• Beat the egg yolks with part of the milk, add flour, sugar, salt, beat well.
• Add remaining milk gradually, then melted butter.
• Beat egg whites stiff.
• Fold into crepe mixture.
• They either may be cooked in the usual way in a crepe pan or put into a large buttered pan and baked in a preheated 375F oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.
• This then becomes something like a flat souffle that can be topped with a filling or one can be put over half the batter, the rest poured on top.
• It can be a sweet filling like strawberries or apples and may be flavored with lemon rind, brandy, or vanilla.
