M and I have been complete work-a-holics as of late. My excess working is primarily due to a cookbook manuscript that is nearing the deadline while M’s is normal nerding and game planning. However, I made a decree that for a small amount of time on Saturday, we were going strawberry picking: a slight pause amidst the bit of chaos. I found this gem of a farm through a bit of internet searching and I’m so glad I did. Not only do they have organic u-pick strawberries, they also have large amounts of tomatoes for canning (hello, July!)

This crepe is really for M. The town where we grew up has a restaurant that has an amazing crepe menu and sometimes we find ourselves jonsing for a dessert crepe. While there are places here in Sac that serve crepes (whole restaurants in fact), I’ve made enough crepes that its become something I can easily whip together. You will notice a flavor combination that hails from my grandmother’s Swedish Rye bread. I love sorghum sweetener and rye together- it’s such a winning combination. If you can’t find sorghum syrup, I recommend using maple syrup or a bit of molasses.

Rye Crepes with Sorghum-Bourbon Strawberries + Ice Cream

Print
Pin

Scale

Ingredients

  • Crepes
  • ¼ cup rye flour
  • ¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour*
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sorghum syrup
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • Strawberries
  • 2 cups quartered strawberries
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons sorghum syrup
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flours, salt, eggs, sorghum, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Heat 8″ skillet and lightly grease with oil. Place a scant ¼ cup of batter in pan. Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the entire pan and cook for about 30-45 seconds. Flip and cook for another 15 seconds. Layer done crepes, slightly overlapping, on a plate.
  2. When finished with crepes, add the bourbon and sorghum to the skillet, stirring until well combined. Heat over medium-low heat until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Place strawberries in a bowl and pour bourbon mixture over.
  3. Place one crepe on a plate and scoop out 2 scoops of ice cream and place towards one edge of the crepe. Fold the crepe over the ice cream and spoon strawberries on top.

Notes

*All rye flour can be used as well. Also, don’t heavy-hand the flour measuring. It may cause your crepe batter to be too thick.

**Recipe Makes 8 crepes and enough strawberries for 2-3 topped crepes. Leftover crepes store well in the freezer (separated by parchment paper.)

**Strawberries can also be cooked or roasted with the bourbon mixture

    Crepes and strawberries have to be two of my most favourite things in the entire world. The perfect thing for a break from a hectic schedule, I’m sure!

    When I was a kid we used to go strawberry picking when we visited our grandparents and it was so much fun! There isn’t much better than hand picked produce! These crepes look delicious 🙂

    Go you on your crepe skillz! I can barely handle crepes with all white flour let alone whole wheat flour. The strawberries are the perfect spring touch!
