Crêpes and Citrus Curds #CulinaryCam

By


We make crêpes all year round. They are fancy enough for a celebration yet simple enough for everyday. So, when I thought about making a video for an easy Mothers' Day dish on our Culinary Cam YouTube channel, I landed on crêpes. You can watch it there...or here.


Ingredients makes approximately one dozen
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups organic whole milk
  • dash of ground cardamom
  • butter, for cooking
  • For serving: jam, unsweetened whipped cream, lemon wedges, Nutella, cheese (for any savory lovers!), and - for this post, I used - a trio of citrus curds


Procedure
Whisk all of the ingredients together until lump-free. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Heat a large flat-bottom pan and rub the bottom with butter. Pour the batter into the pan and quickly make a tilting motion to distribute the batter all over the pan. The goal: have as thin a batter layer as possible.

Cook until the crêpe is a bit stiff and flip over, cooking for another minute The pancake should be lightly browned on both sides. Repeat till all the batter is used; I made 12 crêpes with the quantities listed above.


Let everyone assemble their own crêpes.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
