Scrippelle \u2018mbusse abruzzesi (or crepes in broth) are among the most original and elegant dishes in Abruzzo<\/a> cuisine.<\/p>

They were born in Teramo in the 19th century from a happy accident: a young cook, serving French officers of Napoleon, accidentally dropped his crepes into a broth. Instead of throwing them away, he decided to serve them as they were\u2026 and the recipe was immediately embraced. <\/p>

Today, Scrippelle \u2018mbusse abruzzesi are an iconic dish for Christmas and special occasions. They embody the spirit of Abruzzo cuisine: simplicity of ingredients, refined flavor, and elegance in presentation. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Beat the eggs with the salt.<\/p>

      Add the sifted flour, then the water and olive oil, mixing until you get a smooth batter.<\/p>

      Cook thin crepes in a lightly greased non-stick pan, without browning them.<\/p>

      Tip: the crepes should remain soft so they can absorb the broth.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Sprinkle each crepe with Pecorino d\u2019Abruzzo, then roll them gently.<\/p>

      Arrange the rolls side by side in deep plates.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.<\/p>

      Gently pour the broth over the scrippelle, then add a little black pepper and extra pecorino.<\/p>

      Serve immediately, piping hot, as tradition in Teramo requires.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
