Buckwheat Crepe Noodles with Chive Butter
- 3 cups whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buckwheat flour*
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- Blend milk, eggs, flours, salt, and pepper in a blender, scraping down sides occasionally, until smooth, then add parsley and 3 tablespoons butter and blend just until incorporated.
- Lightly brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with some remaining butter and heat over moderate heat until hot.
- Fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths full of batter, then pour into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom.
- (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crepe.)
- Cook just until underside is set and lightly browned, 10 to 15 seconds, then loosen crepe with a heatproof plastic spatula and flip over with your fingers.
- Cook crepe until other side is just cooked through, about 15 seconds more.
- Transfer crepe to a large sheet of wax paper.
- Make more crepes in same manner, lightly brushing skillet with more butter as needed between batches and stacking crepes in 2 piles.
- Transfer crepe stacks to a cutting board and cut each stack into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then separate into noodles.
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350F.
- Generously butter a baking pan.
- Mash together butter and chives with a fork in a small bowl, then add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread noodles in baking pan and reheat in oven until hot, about 15 minutes.
- Melt chive butter (along with any remaining melted butter from crepes) in a small saucepan, then drizzle over noodles.
- Gently transfer noodles to a warmed serving bowl (noodles are delicate).
- *Available at natural foods stores and some supermarkets.
