Method

  1. 1

    Whisk. Beat the 240 ml milk and 3 whole eggs together, whisk in the 40 g flour mixed with 65 g sugar, then whisk in the 21 g melted butter and strain through a fine sieve; rest for at least 30 min.

  2. 2

    Cook. Heat a crêpe pan, butter it lightly and pour in a spoonful of batter, tilting to coat the base, then cook until lightly browned on both sides; repeat to make about 12 crêpes.

  3. 3

    Toast. Heat the oven to 200 °C, butter a Swiss roll tin and dust with 1 tbsp sugar, then toast the 45 g flaked almonds.

  4. 4

    Mix. Beat the 3 egg yolks until thick and stir in 200 g dulce de leche.

  5. 5

    Fold. Whisk the 3 egg whites to soft peaks, beat in 1 tbsp sugar until stiff, stir a third into the yolk mixture, then fold in the rest.

  6. 6

    Fill. Put a heaped tablespoon of the soufflé mixture in the middle of each crêpe, roll round it and lay seam side down in the tin.

  7. 7

    Bake. Bake until puffed, about 15 min, then serve at once with a little dulce de leche, the toasted almonds and whipped cream.

Storage

Best eaten fresh and warm, straight from the oven. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
