Chef Cindy Pawlcyn, Napa Valley, CA
Citrus Compote
Directions
- Combine all citrus segments and juice, then set aside.
Crepes
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, honey, juice and salt. Add the milk and mix until smooth. Brown the butter and whisk into the batter. Let the mixture rest for 2 hours.
- Heat a sauté pan (crepes are ideally made in a 10-11 inch sauté pan) over medium heat. Spray with oil and reduce heat to medium-low. Measure about 2 ounces of batter per crepe and pour into the sauté pan. Tilt the pan to evenly spread the batter over the surface of the pan until brown. Using a heat resistant spatula, gently turn the crepe over to cook on the other side until lightly caramelized. Repeat the steps for each crepe holding them in a warm oven.
- Smear 1-2 teaspoons of the warmed marmalade on one side of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then again into a quarter.
- To serve, place 2 crepes, slightly overlapping on a warm plate. Add a dollop of about 1-2 tablespoons whipped mascarpone. Drizzle with warm honey or maple syrup. Add a portion of the citrus compote and serve.
