Crêpe Normande

Crêpe Normande is a delightful gluten-free French delicacy featuring thin, tender crêpes filled with a luscious apple and Calvados compote, perfect for a midnight treat. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Normandy.

Ingredients

• Rice flour - 100g
• Milk - 250ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Butter - 30g, melted
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Apples (preferably tart) - 2 medium, peeled and diced
• Calvados (apple brandy) - 30ml
• Sugar - 2 tbsp
• Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. While the batter rests, prepare the apple filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and Calvados. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour a ladleful of crêpe batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
4. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Carefully flip the crêpe and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes on a plate.
5. To serve, fill each crêpe with the warm apple compote, fold or roll them, and drizzle with additional melted butter or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
