Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 3 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 8 ounces Smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Capers (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for cooking crepes)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until you have a smooth crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped dill, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the crepe.
Place a few slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with capers if desired.
Carefully roll the crepe tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled crepe into 1-inch sections to create bite-sized pinwheels. Arrange the salmon and cream cheese crepe appetizers on a platter for serving.
