Crêpes Traditionelle

Serves 4

We've made these delicious crepes with buckwheat using Dualit's Hand Mixer, however if you want to stick to traditional crêpes then follow our Perfect Pancake Recipe.

Ingredients
  • 160g buckwheat flour
  • 65g plain flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 600ml milk
  • 1 large pinch of salt
  • 225g soft, fresh goat’s cheese
  • 6 tbsp Bonne Maman Fig Conserve
  • 8 thin slices Bayonne ham
  • 125g Comté cheese, coarsely grated
  • 4 sweet pickled onions or cornichons finely sliced
  • 50g soft leaves such as baby spinach, rocket or pea shoots
  • 1 tsp melted butter
Method

  1. Whisk together the buckwheat flour, plain flour, eggs, milk and salt

  2. Cover and leave overnight

  3. Heat a frying pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat, drizzle in a teaspoon of melted butter and wipe it over the base with kitchen paper

  4. Drop a small ladleful of pancake batter into the pan, swirling so it coats the base evenly in a thin layer

  5. Cook for 2 minutes or until the underside is golden, then flip and cook on the other side for a minute or so

  6. Remove to a warm plate and repeat

  7. Stack the crêpes between layers of baking parchment as you go, keeping them warm in a low oven

  8. To serve, spread the crêpes with the soft cheese

  9. Spoon the fig conserve on top and spread evenly

  10. Top with a slice of ham, a sprinkling of grated cheese, a little pickled onion and a handful of baby leaves

  11. Roll or fold the crêpes and enjoy cold or warmed through in a hot oven for 5 minutes

Chef's tip

If serving the crêpes warm, try adding a small, softly fried egg on top
