Paper-thin crepes aren't so fussy. "They're almost simpler than pancakes," says pastry chef Garrelts.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted, shelled raw pistachios
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
- Unsalted butter (for skillet)
- 1 ripe pear, cored, thinly sliced
- 4 fresh black Mission figs, quartered
- Honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Spread pistachios on a small rimmed baking sheet; toast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg, milk, flour, cornmeal, sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1/4 cup cream in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Heat a 10" nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat skillet with butter and add 3 tablespoons batter, swirling to cover the bottom of skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until edges turn golden and center begins to puff, about 2 minutes. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, loosen edges and then, using your fingers, flip crepe and cook until bottom is dry and set, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, coating skillet with butter between crepes.
- Beat remaining 1 cup cream to soft peaks. Serve crepes folded, topped with whipped cream, pears, figs, and pistachios and drizzled with honey.
