Crepes with Smoked Trout and Caviar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup creme fraiche
- 3 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill, plus 12 dill sprigs for garnish
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small Golden Delicious apple, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 smoked trout fillet (7 ounces), skinned, flesh flaked into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons American caviar
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the sugar.
- Whisk in the milk and eggs until the batter is smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the creme fraiche with the horseradish and chopped dill and season with salt and pepper.
- Strain the crepe batter through a fine sieve set over a small bowl.
- Heat a 6-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of the butter.
- When the butter stops foaming, add 2 tablespoons of batter, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
- Cook over moderately high heat until the edge of the crepe is lightly browned, about 1 minute.
- Using a spatula, flip the crepe and cook until lightly colored on the second side, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the crepe to a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining butter and batter, adjusting the heat as necessary so that the crepes do not burn.
- Stack the crepes as they're done; you should have 12.
- Spread each crepe with 1 tablespoon of the horseradish creme fraiche and top with 3 red onion slices, 2 or 3 apple slices and 1 heaping tablespoon of trout.
- Roll up the crepes and transfer to plates or a platter.
- Garnish each crepe with 1/2 teaspoon of caviar and a dill sprig and serve.
