Add the warm milk, a splash at a time while continuing mixing. Finally, add the cool brown butter and orange blossom water. Mix until it is all incorporated.

REST

  • Let your batter rest covered with a plastic wrap at room temperature for about an hour.

COOK!

  • Heat your Pancake pan on Medium 5 minutes prior starting making your "Crêpes" and slightly oil the surface with a kitchen towel.
  • Pour one large scoop of batter in your pan, spreading it over with your spatula.
  • Once one side is cooked, flip it over. Cook it for a few seconds more.

BEGGAR'S PURSE FILLING

  • Place chopped apples, sliced oranges, apple sauce with the vanilla bean paste in a medium sauce pan and heat on low until fruits have softened.

ASSEMBLY

  • When ready place a tablespoon in the center of your crêpe. Then, pull the crêpe together to form a little purse and tie the top of the crêpe with a toothpick. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
