We stir everything very well until we have a uniform sauce that we reserve as an accompaniment until it is time to serve the crêpes.
- We take another bowl and crack the two eggs into it. We sift the flour and pour it over the eggs. We also pour the milk, a teaspoon of Provencal herbs, a pinch of salt. With a whisk mixer, we stir until we have a uniform dough that we let rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the heads from the prawns and peel them. Peel the onion and garlic, chop them finely. Heat a splash of virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Poach until the first one is almost transparent.
- At that moment we add the prawns and stir. We add the whiskey and increase the heat, leaving it for a couple of minutes to evaporate. Then we add the cream, lower the heat to medium power, season with salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes, until it thickens slightly.








Preparation of the crêpes. Stuffed with prawns and final presentation
- It’s time to prepare the crêpes, with these measurements we will get four, one per person. If you want to prepare more, you just have to double measurements.
- We take a non-stick frying pan and, optionally, melt a knob of butter over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot and with the help of a ladle we cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of dough and let it set.
- When it starts to rise it is time to turn the crêpe over so that it cooks on the other side. We remove the crêpes to a flat plate.

Tips for a perfect crêpes stuffed with prawns
- The key when preparing pancakes or crêpes is, in addition to the dough recipe, monitoring the temperature of the pan. Each kitchen is different and many times the first crêpe does not come out perfect, but after the second everything is usually easier.
- Normally it works very well to start with the heat on full and lower it to 70% as the pan has reached a good temperature. If our pan sticks, it is important to replenish the butter from time to time to make it easier for the crêpes to separate from it.
