Nikitas wrote:True Cypriot chefs should know how to make Cypriot crepes cooked on a hot stone. Whoever gives the recipe for that proves his Cypriot chef credentials. That would be ingredients, method, and some of the history of the dish which was described from way back when, so there should be no argument about it being anythingn but true Cypriot in origin.
Will this do?
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 ml.) flour
1 cup (250 ml.) of milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon (15 ml.) extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon salt (3 ml.)
Olive oil for frying
Honey for topping
1. Combine and sift the flour, and salt into a mixing bowl.
2. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl then add the olive oil and milk and mix together well, then add mixture to the bowl with the flour and whisk to combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. If you prefer a thinner pancake, add a little more milk to the batter.
3. In the absence of a hot stone, heat a medium sized frying pan and add a tablespoonful of olive oil to melt over a medium heat. Once the olive oil is hot, use a ladle and drop a dollop of the batter into the centre of the pan such that it will spread out into a disc as it cooks. When the edges of the disc start to dry and bubbles appear, flip the pancake to cook the other side and cook till done. Serve hot with some honey drizzled over the top. You can also add some chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
