Easy Delicious Posh Dessert Crepes Recipe

Method:
1. In one bowl, sift the dry ingredients of the crepe batter mix together.
2. Whisk the two eggs into the dry ingredients.
3. Slowly add the milk and water mixture to the mix whilst beating (I use a hand blender). If using a lower fat milk, adjust the water down and increase milk – overall you end up with 275ml liquid
4. Add in 2 tbsp of the melted butter and keep the rest for the frying pan. Mix well.
5. Put batter in the fridge for 15 – 20min and to allow it to thicken a bit.
6. Blend whipping cream and vanilla paste in a large mixing bowl until the cream has thickened. Keep chilled.
7. Slowly melt a 70% Soma chocolate such as Madagascar in a small bowl over simmering water (bain marie). Bowl should not touch water.
8. Heat up your frying pan, dab a bit of scrunched up kitchen paper in the remaining melted butter and rub onto the frying pan to keep crepe from sticking.
9. Ladle a full small ladle of batter into the pan (or three tablespoons).  Move the pan in circular motions to spread the batter around.
10. After about 2 mins, use two palate knives to flip the pancake to cook for another two mins on the other side. Should be light brown. If it is to dark, turn down heat slightly or reduce cooking time.
11. Place on plate and repeat, separating each pancake with baking parchment if possible (they should not stick but heat makes steam and it could cause sticking)
12. To assemble, place single crepe/pancake on a plate, Pipe a thick line of cream down the middle of the pancake (or just spread a thick mound), then top with fresh Ontario blueberries and a bit of maple syrup, wrap over both sides and drizzle top with warm blueberry jam (warm in microwave to make it easier to spread) and melted chocolate. If you wish, dust with icing sugar but serve straight away!
