Spicy Crespelle Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the filling together in a large bowl. Season well with nutmeg, salt and pepper and set aside.
• To make the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a moderate heat.
• Add the garlic, and as soon as it begins to brown add the tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook over a fairly high heat for about 15-20 minutes, until thickened, stirring frequently. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Pre-heat the oven to 400°F Take the first pancake and spoon one eighth of the filling across the centre. Flip the sides over to cover the ends of the filling then roll the pancake parcel up neatly.
• Place in a lightly oiled ovenproof dish large enough to take all the filled pancakes in a cosy, single layer.
• Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling. Pour over the tomato sauce then bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, until bubbling hot. Serve at once.

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.

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.
