Instructions:
For the Crepes:
- Prepare the batter: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until well-beaten. Gradually add the whole milk, stirring constantly to incorporate it into the egg mixture. Once the milk is fully absorbed, you can proceed to the next step.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick pan or crepe maker (about 20 cm in diameter) over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter. Pour in a small ladle of the crepe batter and tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Cook the crepe for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Continue until all crepes are cooked, placing them on a plate as they finish.
For the Fruit Filling:
- Prepare the figs and pears: Wash the figs and cut them in half. Peel and slice the pears into wedges.
- Caramelize the pears: In a saucepan, place the pear wedges, brown sugar, and half the water. Sautรฉ over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the pears begin to caramelize and take on a golden color.
- Add the figs: Once the pears are nicely colored, add the figs to the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the fruit to soften and release their juices.
Assembling the Crepes:
-
Assemble the crepes: Take one crepe and place a portion of the caramelized fruit mixture on one half of the crepe. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over the fruit to add extra flavor and moisture. Fold the other half of the crepe over the fruit to create a delicious pocket of sweetness.
-
Serve: Dust the finished crepes with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful blend of whole wheat crepes, caramelized pears, and fresh figs!
These Whole Wheat Crepes with Figs and Pears are a perfect dessert for any occasion, offering a balance of wholesome ingredients and indulgent fruit fillings. The crepes are light yet satisfying, with the figs and pears bringing a natural sweetness and warmth to every bite. The brown sugar and slight caramelization add an extra depth of flavor, while the powdered sugar dusting provides just the right finishing touch.
