How to prepare Whole Wheat Crepes with Figs and Pears
To make the whole wheat crepes with figs and pears, first, prepare the crepe batter: beat the egg 1 in a small bowl and melt the butter in another; in a separate large bowl, place the whole wheat flour and salt 2, then pour in the milk 3 at room temperature in a thin stream, stirring with the whisk to prevent lumps.
Once the milk is absorbed, add the beaten egg 4 and melted butter at room temperature 5 and continue whisking to obtain a homogeneous batter. Cover with plastic wrap 6 and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. For more guidance, you can consult the whole wheat crepes recipe on our site.
Heat a crepe maker or a small non-stick pan about 8 inches in diameter, grease the pan with a little butter 7, and pour a ladle of batter 8. Tilt the pan to distribute the mixture evenly and cook for 3 minutes on one side 9
and 2 minutes on the other 10. As they are ready, place them on a plate 11. Now wash the figs and cut them in half 12.
Cut the pears into wedges 13 and peel them 14. Place the pear wedges in a saucepan, add the brown sugar 15
and half the amount of water 16, let the pears brown for 5 minutes or until they take color. At this point, add the figs 17 and the remaining water 18,
cover with the lid 19 and let cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and allow the cooking liquid to thicken. The caramelized fruit is ready 20, now you can fill the crepes: take a crepe, place the fruit on half of its surface and cover with the cooking liquid 21,
then fold the other half of the crepe over the filling 22 and garnish with powdered sugar 23. Serve the whole wheat crepes with figs and pears immediately 24!
