Mushroom Crepes

Slavic Crepes with Chicken and Mushrooms

Crepes with Chicken and Mushrooms

Ingredients
  

For the batter:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup + 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 oz unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoon any neutral cooking oil for frying

For the filling:

  • 10 oz ground chicken
  • 5 1/2 oz mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 4 1/2 oz yellow onion chopped
  • 1 oz green onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • a few long stalks of green onion for serving
  • 2 tablespoon any neutral cooking for frying
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. In a big bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well mixed. Beat in the flour mixture until smooth. An old-school whisk will do the job just fine. But if you have an immersive blender, it will make the batter even smoother. Then stir in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover with a plastic wrap and leave rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large sauté pan. Add the chicken and sauté until cooked all the way through and no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to bread large chunks with a spatula as the chicken cooks. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and cook until the onion is opaque for about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, covered with the lid. Stir the mixture frequently, and cook for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked all the way through.
  • Add the chicken to the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste; mix well. Stir in the sour cream and adjust the seasoning. Transfer the chicken-mushroom filling into a medium bowl and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the crepes. Gently stir the batter with a whisk if it separates. Heat a 10-inch non-stick or crepe pan over medium-high heat until really hot. Cover the pan with a thin layer of oil, and pour a small amount of batter. Rotate the pan to spread the batter as thinly as possible. Cook over moderate heat until lightly browned on the edges, about 1 minute. Loosen the edges with a spatula and flip over the crepe. Cook on the other side for about 20 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a platter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To assemble the crepes, place about two tablespoons of filling on the center of the crape, and then shape it as a beggar’s purse. Secure the top with a piece of a long green onion. Just wrap it around and tie it into a loose knot.
