It took me a long time to think of pumpkins as human food.
In Mexico we grew lots of pumpkins and took the seeds out of them to dry and
roast and the rest of the pumpkin was fed to the pigs.
This pudding definitely doesn’t taste like what I imagine pig
food would taste like. If it does, then
those Mexican Mennonite pigs are the luckiest because this pudding in the crepes is delicioso!
Pumpkin pudding
Ingredients for the pudding
¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups milk
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
4 large egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch nutmeg
¼ tsp cinnamon
Process
Combine sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cinnamon first then add
the pumpkin puree and mix in egg yolk into the mixture. In a medium sauce pan heat
the milk and vanilla over medium heat. Stir frequently until pudding heats up,
then stir constantly until it starts to bubble bout 30 seconds or until it
thickens.
Basic crepes
Ingredients for the crepes
1 cup of flour
¼ teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
½ cup of milk
½ cup of water
2 tablespoons of butter melted
Mix the salt into the flour, add the milk, water, eggs and melted
butter whisk it all together.
Process
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat pour a ladle full of
dough into the pan. Lift the pan up and move it around side to side until the
dough covers the bottom of the pan evenly. Put the pan back onto the burner and let
it cook for about a minute or so. Flip it when the edges start to curl up and
the dough doesn’t look runny on the top and cook for another 30 seconds or so.
Spoon in as much pudding as you like into the crepe, top
with some whip cream and sprinkle some icing sugar over top.
