Panqueques con Dulce de Leche (Argentinian Dulce de Leche Crepes)

Panqueques con Dulce de Leche are Argentinian crepes with a rich dulce de leche filling. While the word Panqueques directly translates to Pancakes, these Panqueques are closer to crepes in thickness and texture. Variations are popular throughout South America, such as in Chile, Uruguay, Colombia (Crepes con Arequipe), and Brazil (Crepe de Doce de Leite).

For this recipe, I made a homemade dulce de leche from the cookbook, Dulce de Leche. Vintage Kitchen Notes has a great recipe too with plenty of tips. It is also becoming more and more available in larger supermarkets with South American ingredients.

The Panqueques con Dulce de Leche are delicious on their own or you can top with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or even a scoop of ice cream for a little extra decadence. Sometimes I like to add a few berries or banana slices as well.

A Few Tips

If the crepe batter is too thin, add a little more flour until it is thick enough to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. If it is too thick, add a little more milk.

I whisked together the ingredients for the Panqueques until smooth with no lumps. If you can’t get it smooth enough or are looking for a quicker way, simply toss everything in the blender and process until smooth.

Allow the mixture to rest covered in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight before preparing. If the batter separates a little after resting, gently whisk back together before pouring in the pan.

I use a crepe pan to make the Panqueques, but a well seasoned skillet would also work well. The trick to a thin, even crepe is a thoroughly heated pan and pouring in the batter (about 1/4 cup, 60 milliliters) quickly. As soon as the batter touches the pan, swirl it around in a circle to coat the bottom. Watch the temperature and adjust the heat between medium and low as needed. 

Fill and fold the Panqueques as desired. I usually like to spread a layer of dulce de leche over one half of the open crepe, fold in half to cover, then fold over again to make a triangle. Another favorite is to fill with a line of dulce de leche down the middle and simply roll up. If I am placing the crepes on smaller plates as featured in the photos, I fold the crepe in half, cover with a layer of the spread, then roll up side to side to make more miniature rolls.

This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger crowd (I sometimes double the crepe ingredients to make some sweet and set aside a few for savory).
