Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300g peeled shrimp, cooked
- 100g smoked salmon, sliced
- 150g Cheddar cheese, grated
Crêpe Base:
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 375 milliliters (1.6 cups) full cream milk
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 30 grams (1 ounce) unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) cooking cream
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons spring onions
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the crêpe batter by blending flour, whole milk, and eggs in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into a measuring jug and incorporate melted unsalted butter, whisking gently to integrate completely.
- Select a non-stick crêpe pan or lightweight skillet and warm over medium heat, ensuring uniform temperature distribution.
- Ladle approximately 60 milliliters of batter into the heated pan, using a circular motion to spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Cook the crêpe for approximately 60-75 seconds until the edges become slightly crisp and lift effortlessly from the pan’s surface.
- Carefully flip the delicate crêpe using a thin spatula and cook the opposite side for an additional 20-30 seconds until lightly golden.
- Remove the completed crêpe and layer between sheets of parchment paper to prevent adhesion, repeating the process until all batter is utilized.
- For the seafood filling, gently warm heavy cream in a medium saucepan over moderate heat.
- Incorporate soft cream cheese into the warm cream, stirring consistently until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Enhance the sauce with freshly grated lemon zest, finely ground white pepper, and thinly sliced green onions.
- Delicately fold in flaked smoked salmon and tender cooked shrimp, maintaining the integrity of the seafood pieces.
- Distribute a generous spoonful of the luxurious seafood mixture onto each prepared crêpe.
- Fold the crêpes into elegant triangular parcels, ensuring the filling remains securely enclosed.
- Serve immediately to preserve the optimal temperature and texture of the seafood crêpes.
Notes
- Prepare crêpes ahead of time and store between parchment paper to maintain freshness and prevent sticking.
- Use a blender for a perfectly smooth batter, ensuring lump-free and consistent crêpe texture.
- Select high-quality smoked salmon and fresh shrimp for maximum flavor and restaurant-quality results.
- Cook crêpes on medium heat to achieve golden-brown color without burning the delicate batter.
- Gently fold seafood into warm cream sauce to preserve delicate textures and prevent overcooking.
- Serve immediately after filling to enjoy the optimal temperature and prevent soggy crêpes.
