Viennese Crepes

  1. Crepes: put 3 egg yolks and 1 tablespoons sugar in the top of a double boiler.
  2. Mix well - set over gently simmering water over medium heat.
  3. Cook, whisking constantly, until yolk mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove pan from heat -continue to whisk until mixture cools and becomes pale yellow.
  5. Preheat oven to 400.
  6. Beat egg whites in a nonreactive bowl until foamy.
  7. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  8. Sprinkle flour into yolk mixture.
  9. Mix well, then gently fold in egg whites.
  10. Spread 1/4 cup of batter on a nonstick cookie sheet, forming a 3'' round.
  11. Smooth, then repeat with remaining batter, forming 6 rounds in all.
  12. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
  13. (Finished crepes should be light and spongy.)
  14. Transfer to a cake rack to cool.
  15. For the filling, combine remaining 2 egg yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar, and white wine in a small saucepan.
  16. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly to keep yolks from scrambling, over medium-high heat.
  17. Remove pan from heat and whisk for 1 minute more.
  18. Cool completely.
  19. Meanwhile, whip cream until stiff, then gently fold, a little at a time, into yolk mixture.
  20. To assemble, divide filling between crepes, fold over, then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and serve.
