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