Method
Making the batter
- Place the flour, eggs, salt, crème fraîche, cognac and two-thirds of the milk in a bowl; whisk together until very smooth and let rest for 2 hours;
- add the remaining milk just before cooking the crêpes to achieve the desired consistency.
Preparing the filling
- Meanwhile, chop the candied angelica;
- cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and pale; blend in the cognac and the pieces of angelica.
Cooking and finishing
- Heat the butter in a pan; pour in a spoonful of batter, just enough to make a crêpe thick enough to be sautéed. Keep warm in the oven, covered with a piece of aluminum foil;
- spread each crêpe with the filling; roll up and place on a serving platter;
- dust with icing sugar; sprinkle with the warmed cognac and flambé.
