BRAşOVENCE (BREADED CREPES WITH MUSHROOM FILLING)

Steps:

• To make the crepes, combine the flour, eggs, milk, and salt in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add enough batter to thinly and evenly coat the base of the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around. Leave to cook for about 30 seconds until golden underneath, then ease a spatula under the crepe to lift and flip it over. Cook for a further 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• To make the filling, heat the oil in large frying pan over medium heat and soften the onions. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 30 minutes until the mixture resembles a rough paste. Set aside in a bowl to cool, then briefly pulse in a food processor to a coarse paste.
• Spread 2 teaspoons of the mushroom filling onto one crepe, then bring the sides to almost meet in the middle. Roll the crepe and place seam-side down onto a tray. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
• To make the coating, place the eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs into separate shallow dishes. Cover the base of a large frying pan with a thin layer of oil and place over medium heat. Holding the crepes by both ends, quickly dip them into the egg, then the flour, and then the breadcrumbs and place seam-side down into the frying pan. Cook until the outsides are golden brown, turning a few times to brown evenly. Drain the crepes of any excess oil on paper towels.
