Just the other day I ran across a recipe from Smitten Kitchen for Charred Sweet Corn Crepes. I love crepes; I love sweet corn - OK!
I followed the recipe exactly, with wonderful results. I made a triple batch in order to account for errors (one pretty big one). Things that I learned:
- You do not need to put nearly as much butter in the pan as you initially think.
- I started out with three small ladles full of batter per crepe. Two was really all that was needed.
- Do not attempt a triple batch in a standard sized food-processor. Comic overflows will ensue!
First one! It gave me the chance to try one before I went any further. It was delectable! |
In choosing my filling, I decided to go with a combination of shrimp, spinach and a sauce made from plain Greek yogurt with lime juice and zest. I ate it all cold - what a wonderful warm weather meal! I can also imagine it hot, with shredded chicken, sauteed peppers and onions, and a light cheese.
They really, really are delicious!
Wow, they do look delicious! We are in corn season here, too. I may have to try making some.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I think that you will enjoy the outcome. Let me know if you give it a go!
DeleteMmmm, corn crepes. I would love these. I love grilled corn during the summer time. I chop up a handful of tarragon to sprinkle on it and I love those flavors. Those crepes would be liked by everyone here as we are huge fans of cornbread!
ReplyDeleteIf you try them Sarah - please let me know how you like them!
DeleteOh yum! If it's a corn recipe then I'm in! They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey really are delicious Bev - give them a go!
DeleteOh my goodness! You've definitely inspired me to try making crepes. Thanks for the valuable insight...I'll leave the food processor in the cupboard.
ReplyDeleteI think that they would be right up your alley, T. If I know you though, you'll find a way to make them healthier!
DeleteI just loved them, and need to make some more before our sweet-corn season runs out. I wonder how they'd freeze?
