Beggars Purses Recipe
Yield: 6 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
CREPES
1 1/2 cup: Milk,
4: Eggs,
3 3/4 ounce: Pastry flour -=OR=-,
3 ounce: - All-purpose flour -AND-,
3/4 ounce: - Cake flour,
1 pinch: Salt,
1/2 ounce: Melted butter,
FILLING
Chives, blanched
Caviar,
Sour cream, or creme fraiche
Butter, melted
Directions:
COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS for the crepes, except the butter. Whisk well
and pass through a fine strainer. Let rest 1 hour. Add butter before
cooking the crepes. Cook the crepes and be careful not to brown them.
Lay the crepe out on a piece of parchment or a clean towel (dont lay
out more than 12 at a time or they will dry out). Fill with a
spoonful of caviar and sour cream. Pull the edges of the crepes up to
form small purses and tie with a chive. Serve warm or at room
temperature, lightly brushed with butter. These crepes can also be
rolled or folded in the more traditional manner if forming the purses
seems like a daunting task. The result is beautiful, however, and
worth the extra effort. This elegant recipe comes from Katherine
Alford, chief instructor at the New York Cooking School. Katherine
used to be the chef at the Quilted Giraffe in New York. These crepes
are a signature dish of that restaurant.
