Method

Crepes

  1. 1

    Make the Crepe Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crepes

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

Salted Caramel

  1. 3

    Prepare the Caramel

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar and stir until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add Butter and Cream

    Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the butter and stir until melted. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt. Let it cool slightly.

Crème Anglaise

  1. 5

    Heat the Milk and Cream

    In a saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, then remove from heat.

  2. 6

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and thick.

  3. 7

    Combine and Cook

    Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil.

  4. 8

    Add Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the crepes drizzled with salted caramel and a side of crème anglaise. Dust with powdered sugar and serve whipped cream on the side.
