Dulce de Leche Crepes
- 1 stick unsalted butter6 tablespoons at room temperature, 2 tablespoons melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
- Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving
- In a small saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter and cook over moderately low heat until the foam rises to the surface and the splattering stops, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and spoon off the foam.
- Strain the butter through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a small bowl; you should have about 4 tablespoons of clarified butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the salt.
- In another medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, water and the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture and whisk just to blend the batter; it's okay if there are some lumps.
- Heat a crepe pan or 8-inch nonstick skillet.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of the clarified butter and swirl it in the pan.
- Ladle 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it in a thin, even 6-inch round.
- Cook the crepe over moderate heat until lightly golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the crepe and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
- Turn the crepe out onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining clarified butter and batter to make 8 crepes, stacking them on the plate as you go.
- Spread a tablespoon of dulce de leche onto each crepe and fold it in half.
- Place 2 folded crepes on each plate.
- Top with whipped cream and serve.
