Ingredients
- 80 g Chestnut Flour
- 3 Eggs
- 40 g Sugar
- 20 g White Flour
- 500 ml Milk
- Olive Oil (for greasing)
- Vanilla Ice Cream (to serve)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, pour the chestnut flour and add an egg together with a quarter of the milk, stirring until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it with olive oil. Pour a ladle of the prepared batter and cook for a few minutes until the crepe becomes golden and thin. Carefully flip it to cook on the other side.
- Repeat the process until the batter is used up, stacking the crepes on a plate.
- Bring the remaining milk to a boil in a saucepan.
- In another saucepan, whisk two egg yolks with the sugar until a light and frothy cream is obtained. Incorporate the sifted all-purpose flour and mix well.
- Gradually add the hot milk to the yolk mixture, continuing to stir to avoid lumps.
- Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the custard to a boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
- Once the custard has cooled, spread it on the open crepes.
- Fold each crepe into a triangle and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
To give a special touch to your crepes, add a hint of cinnamon or vanilla to the batter to enrich the flavor of the chestnuts. Decorate the crepes with dark chocolate shavings before serving for a crunchy contrast that will surprise your guests.
