Chestnut Flour Crepes with Ricotta and Honey
- 1 cup chestnut flour, available in specialty stores
- 2 extra large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 cups fresh sheep's or cow's milk ricotta
- 1/2 cup chestnut or orange blossom honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time.
- Add the water, whisking until smooth.
- Allow to stand 15 minutes.
- Place the ricotta in a mixing bowl and stir in half the honey.
- Heat a 6 to 8-inch cast iron skillet or nonstick crepe pan over medium heat and brush with some of the olive oil.
- Add 2 tablespoons crepe batter and roll pan to distribute evenly and thinly.
- Cook until the crepe is firm on the underside and is curling up at the edges, about 1 minute; flip the crepe and cook on the raw side for about 30 seconds.
- Continue making crepes until all the batter is finished, stacking each finished crepe on top of the previous one, to keep them warm.
- To speed up the crepe making process use 2 skillets.
- To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons of the ricotta honey mixture in the center of each crepe, fold in half, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the remaining honey.
- Serve warm.
