Scrippelle 'mbusse Alla Molisana: Molisan Crepes In Broth

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and flour until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until the crepe is lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 crepes.
  3. Roll up each crepe and slice them into thin strips to form "scrippelle".
  4. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the scrippelle and let them cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the Scrippelle 'mbusse hot in bowls with the broth.
