Chef's Note

For the best texture in your crêpes, let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator). This allows the flour to fully hydrate and the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crêpes. If you're short on time, you can prepare the mushroom ragout and herbed crème fraîche a day ahead and gently reheat the ragout before serving.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup buckwheat flour

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 12 ounces mixed wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, cremini)

  • 2 medium shallots, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine

  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche

  • 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon tarragon, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

  • 1/4 cup microgreens, for garnish

Instructions
  • 1

    In a blender, combine 3/4 cup buckwheat flour, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.

  • 2

    Meanwhile, prepare the herbed crème fraîche by combining 1/2 cup crème fraîche with 1 tablespoon each of chopped chives, tarragon, dill, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • 3

    For the mushroom ragout, clean and slice 12 ounces of mixed wild mushrooms. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 diced shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.

  • 4

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves to the skillet, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

  • 5

    Pour in 1/4 cup white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Keep warm.

  • 6

    Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with remaining melted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and swirling to spread into a thin, even layer.

  • 7

    Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges become golden and start to curl up. Flip and cook for another 30-45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter to make 8 crêpes total.

  • 8

    To serve, fold each crêpe into quarters, arrange two on each plate, and top with a generous spoonful of mushroom ragout. Add a dollop of herbed crème fraîche, sprinkle with remaining chives, and garnish with microgreens.
