Ingredients
Scale
- 4 peaches, halved, pitted, and thinly sliced
- ½ cup (125 ml) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (70 g) yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
- 5 tbsps (75 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- Canola oil for cooking
- 1 tsp granulated sugar, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: Blend whole milk, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, eggs, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt in blender until completely smooth, creating a homogeneous mixture.
- Resting Phase: Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, enabling flour to absorb liquid and develop optimal texture.
- Peach Preparation: Slice fresh peaches and gently toss with lemon juice and sugar, allowing fruit to macerate and release natural sweetness.
- Crepe Cooking: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet, heat over medium temperature, and pour batter to create thin, even layer by quickly rotating pan.
- Crepe Technique: Cook each side until golden brown, approximately 45-60 seconds, flipping carefully to achieve perfect coloration, and stack finished crepes on clean plate.
- Cream Preparation: Whip mascarpone cheese with heavy cream and sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Assembly and Baking: Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius, distribute macerated peaches across crepes, fold into triangular shapes, arrange on buttered baking sheet, and bake for 5 minutes to warm filling and crisp edges.
- Serving: Plate crepes and garnish with mascarpone cream and light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Resting Batter Matters: Allow crepe mixture to sit for 30 minutes, enabling flour to absorb liquid and create smoother, more delicate texture.
- Macerate Peachy Perfection: Toss peach slices with lemon juice and sugar to draw out natural sweetness and create a delightful syrupy essence.
- Pan Temperature Precision: Maintain medium heat and use non-stick skillet to ensure even, golden-brown crepes without burning.
- Whipping Cream Technique: Blend mascarpone and heavy cream gently until smooth, avoiding over-mixing to maintain perfect creamy consistency.
