Asparagus Crepes
Make these creamy asparagus filled crepes for your next leisurely breakfast or brunch
Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine wet ingredients. Add half the wet ingredients to the dry and combine with a whisk. Add the remainder of the liquid and whisk into a smooth batter. Let the batter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Cut the asparagus into bite-size pieces on a 45 degree angle.
Place asparagus and water in a saucepan. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Add the half and half and simmer 2 additional minutes.
Add the green onion, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Thicken with the rice flour. Set aside.
Heat a 9 inch skillet and add a small amount of butter.
Add a ¼ cup of the batter. Tilt pan to spread batter thinly and evenly. Flip the crêpe when it turns golden brown and cook the other side until golden.
Place 2 to 4 tablespoons of filling on each crêpe and roll up.
Note: You can also transfer cooked crêpes to parchment paper or a plate, cover and keep in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen between layers of waxed paper, and placed in a plastic freezer bag.
