CRISPY CREPES WITH DULCE DE LECHE SAUCE

 

Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 40 min

1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

31/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

3 large eggs

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar plus additional for sprinkling

3 tablespoons dulce de leche paste* or Nutella

1/2 cup heavy cream

 

Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of

oven, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and a few

shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss immediately with

1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

 

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a well-seasoned

crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Blend milk,

eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2

tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth. Pour in

melted butter, leaving a film of butter in skillet,

and blend until well combined.

 

Heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot but

not smoking. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter

and, holding skillet off heat, pour in batter,

immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a

thin even layer. (If batter sets before skillet is

coated, reduce heat slightly. Next crêpe will be

better.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe

is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45

seconds. Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden,

about 15 seconds more. Sprinkle crêpe lightly with

sugar.

 

Make more crêpes with remaining batter, stacking them

as cooked and lightly sprinkling each with sugar.

 

Preheat broiler and butter an 8-inch round flameproof

shallow baking dish.

 

Heat dulce de leche paste and cream in a small

saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth.

Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about

1 minute.

 

Fold crêpes into eighths and arrange in baking dish.

Sprinkle lightly with sugar, then broil about 6 inches

from heat until edges are crispy, about 45 seconds.

Serve with sauce and pecans.

 

* Available in Latino markets and most supermakets.

 

Makes about 12 crêpes, or 4 servings.
