Niall McKenna's Savoury Crepes

Ingredients (Serves 6)

  • 70g strong flour
  • 70g buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 eggs
  • 430ml whole milk
  • 30g butter, melted
  • 12 slices ham
  • 350g Gruyère cheese, grated

Method

  • To prepare the batter, sift the flour and half of the salt into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the eggs, 370ml of milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • When you are ready to cook your crêpes, preheat the oven to 110 degrees to keep them warm.
  • Remove the batter from the fridge and whisk in the remaining milk.
  • Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  • Pour in 60g of batter, swirling the pan to evenly coat the base.
  • Cook for one minute until bubbles form and edges turn golden. Flip using tongs and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Transfer to a baking tray and keep warm in the oven.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To bake, preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Lay each crepe dark side down, add ham and cheese, then roll tightly. You can use an alternative if Gruyère is not to your liking.
  • Place on a baking tray and bake for five minutes, until the cheese melts.
