Crepes: 3/4 cup AP flour 1/2 cup buckwheat flour 1 1/4 ts salt 3 Tbs sugar 5 eggs 2 cups whole milk 8 Tbs (1 stick) butter, melted plus 2 Tbs butter Sauce: 2 cups fresh raspberries (about 8 oz) 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1 Tbs honey 1 ts lemon juice 1/4 ts salt 1 Tbs cornstarch 1 Tbs water 8-inch pan Yield: 16 to 20 crepes Preparation time: 20 min Cooking time: 25 min Directions: - In a medium bowl, combine the flours, salt, sugar, eggs, and milk, using an electric mixer (for about 2 minutes). - While mixing, slowly pour in the melted butter. - For the best results, cover the batter with plastic wrap and put into the fridge for 1 hour. It helps develop the flavor of crepes. - Stir the batter well before cooking. - Heat a pan and coat it with some butter. - The pan should be hot enough. - Using a small ladle, quickly pour the batter and swirl around to form a crepe. - When the surface of the crepe starts to lose its shine and the edges are browned, flip the crepe, using a fish spatula. - Cook the other side for about 10-15 seconds and transfer the crepe to a plate. - Keep the crepes at room temperature, uncovered. - In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, water, honey, lemon juice, and salt. - In a small bowl, mix together 1Tbs cornstarch and 1 Tbs water. - Bring raspberries to a simmer and cook and stir until they have broken down, for about 2 minutes. - Add cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture and cook for 1 minute. - Pour the sauce through the fine sieve and discard raspberry seeds. - Serve with crepes and fresh berries.
