Crêpe au caramel au beurre salé · Nantes
The sweet half of the Nantes crêperie order: a soft wheat crêpe folded around a dark salted-butter caramel, the western French answer to the question of what to do with salted butter and sugar.
Where the savoury galette is buckwheat, the sweet crêpe is wheat flour, milk, eggs and sugar, and in a Nantes crêperie the two arrive in that order with cidre poured through both. The salted-butter caramel that fills it is a product of the region's dairy and its salt: the Guérande marshes down the coast supplied salt up the Loire for centuries, and demi-sel butter is the western French default rather than an affectation. Cooking sugar to a dark caramel and then killing it with cold salted butter and cream gives a sauce that is bitter, salty and sweet at once, and it is now the standard sweet order in crêperies across the region.
