10 thoughts on “Cs&Cs: Buckwheat Crêpes with Ham, Cheese, & Egg”
I had a sort of hilarious time with these. My comment would be that I lost the first 2 crêpes, maybe because the pan needed to be hotter. Whatever, they disintegrated. My second comment would be to make a well with the cheese as otherwise the egg just slides off.
Mine’s in the fridge right now… (also noted: re the cheese/ egg).
Also just realising I will miss a week’s posting :0 Since I leave for the Camino on July 20th, I am guessing the August schedule won’t be up by then… :(((( I don’t know I can cope!!
Not yet. Generally, I post the nominations post just before the 2nd recipe LYL of the month. That’s Thursday. We should have a schedule by early next week.
FYI, we have 5 Fridays in July and the first post in August will be 3 full weeks after this Friday’s LYL, so that’s pretty much the most time you can have to purchase ingredients. 🙂 I also purposefully scheduled the buckwheat crêpes (as the book calls them) second to give people time to get the flour!
Yes I have just realised that July is long in terms of Fridays! My concern wasn’t purchasing ingredients it was not being anywhere near a kitchen (on a 180km walk) to cook or bake but timing looks to work out!
A note on the crêpes (actually galettes since they are made with buckwheat) – I hope I am using the right recipe – I found the book in Google Books and am using the recipe from the Buckwheat rolls with seaweed butter. First off, they are taking much longer than 1 minute 30 seconds to cook (!) and I am using a bit more batter than 1/4 cup so they are easier to handle…

I made the crepes yesterday, planning on putting it all together today. Thanks for the tip on the cheese.

Yep, Mardi. You have to make the core recipe from the seaweed butter one. And I did the same thing, using nearly 1/2 cup of batter.

Made the batter last night, chilling in the fridge. Hopefully, making the crepes tonight..
