Wein Palatschinken

  • 5 egg yolks plus 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons sweet white wine, such as Gewurztraminer
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • Confectioners sugar, for dusting
  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put 4 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and zest. Sift together flour and salt; fold into yolk mixture.

  • Step 2

    Spread 1/4 cup batter in a 3-inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat, making 8 circles total. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet. Transfer to a wire rack.

  • Step 3

    Whisk together remaining yolk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the wine in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream and poppy seeds into wine mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour.

  • Step 5

    Transfer whipped-cream mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Hold each crepe, top side down; fold almost in half. Pipe about 1/4 cup whipped-cream mixture into crepe. Dust with confectioners sugar.
