Method

拼写法式薄饼with poached pear and blueberries
  • 1
    Make poached pear and blueberries. Bring wine, juice, cinnamon and syrup to the boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, quarter and core pears; cut into thin wedges. Add pear to wine mixture; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until tender. Add blueberries; remove from heat.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, process eggs, milk and flours until smooth. Transfer to a jug; stand for 20 minutes.
  • 3
    Combine ricotta, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
  • 4
    Whisk a heated 20cm (8-inch) crêpe pan with a little of the coconut oil. Pour scant ¼ cups of batter into pan, swirling to coat the base; cook 30 seconds or until browned underneath. Turn crêpe; cook further 10 seconds or until browned lightly underneath. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and batter to make 8 crêpes in total.
  • 5
    Spread 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture on one quarter of each crêpe; fold crêpe into quarters over the filling.
  • 6
    Serve crêpes with poached fruit and poaching liquid.

Notes

The cooking time of the pear will depend on the ripeness. Buy ricotta fresh from the deli; it should be moist.
