STRAWBERRY CREPES



Strawberry Crepes image

Dimming the lights and flambéing a dessert tableside makes an exciting end to a meal. If you are doing this for your grand finale at a dinner party, practice in the confines of the kitchen a couple of times first. If your flambé doesn't ignite you might be left blushing tableside. Overdo it on the rum and you will have rosy cheeks for sure.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons dark rum
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 crepes (see page 148)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon of the rum. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the berries over the paper. Bake for 10 minutes or until the sugar begins to brown and the berries are soft.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet set over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of the rum and stir until combined. One by one, dip each crepe in the butter, making sure to coat both sides. Fold each crepe in quarters while still in the skillet. Arrange the crepes around the outside of the pan. Continue adding more crepes and the remaining butter as necessary. When all 12 crepes have been coated and folded, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon rum over the crepes and ignite (be careful). When the flames have subsided, serve while still warm and top with the warm roasted strawberries.

2 cups strawberries (I keep frozen ones on hand for occasions such as this)
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, zest of (the outermost layer of the lemon rind, which is used for flavoring)
1 orange, zest of
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 orange, juice of
2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • Slice each strawberry in half. (if using frozen be sure to let thaw completely).

  • In the other side, melt sugar.
  • When sugar almost melts, add the orange juice and zests.
  • Carefully add brandy and watch out for the flame!
  • Serve hot over ice cream.

Tips:

  • For perfectly round crepes, use a non-stick pan and make sure it is hot enough before pouring the batter.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with too much batter, otherwise the crepes will be thick and doughy.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • When flipping the crepes, be gentle to avoid tearing them.
  • If you are using fresh strawberries, hull them and slice them before using.
  • If you are using frozen strawberries, thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid.
  • For a richer flavor, use a flavored liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau instead of orange juice.
  • Serve the crepes immediately after flambéing them for the best flavor and presentation.
