Ingredients:
- Blueberry Sauce:
- 150g blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- Crêpes:
- 240 ml water
- 240 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
Instructions:
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, cinnamon, water, sugar, and corn starch. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Crêpe Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and milk. Add sugar, vanilla, and cardamom, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the flour, whisking until the batter is smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
- Cook the Crêpes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.
- Cook the crêpe until the edges are dry and can be lifted with a spatula, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional minute.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve:
- Serve the crêpes warm, topped with the homemade blueberry sauce and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
