Corn Crespelle with Mascarpone and Capers
- 1 cup corn kernels (from 2 ears)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for frying
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (1/2 pound)
- 7 medium scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup salt-packed caperssoaked in cold water for 5 minutes, drained and coarsely chopped (see Note)
- In a food processor, pulse the corn kernels to a coarse puree.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs to mix.
- Stir in the corn puree, flour and salt, then whisk in the milk.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the corn batter for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 300.
- Let the batter return to room temperature, then whisk it gently.
- Heat an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet.
- Dip a paper towel into about 2 tablespoons of melted butter and rub the bottom and side of the crepe pan generously with the butter.
- Set the pan over moderately high heat.
- Pour in 3 tablespoons of the batter and tilt the pan to distribute it evenly; pour any excess batter back into the bowl.
- Cook the crespella until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
- Turn the crespella and cook the second side for about 10 seconds, then slide it out onto a baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 crespelle, overlapping them slightly on the baking sheet.
- Just before serving, cover the crespelle loosely with foil and rewarm them in the oven for about 3 minutes.
- Spread the paler side of each crespella with 2 tablespoons of mascarpone.
- Top with 1 tablespoon of scallions and roll up or fold into quarters.
- Set 2 crespelle on each plate, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the capers and some of the remaining scallions and serve at once.
