Steps:
- Whisk milk, flour, egg, 2 teaspoons melted butter, and 2 teaspoons sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate crepe batter for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Heat an 8-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush pan with 1 teaspoon melted butter. Pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter; immediately tilt the pan and swirl so the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook until crepe begins to bubble and the edges are turning brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip crepe and cook until the other side browns slightly, about 1 more minute. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining 3 crepes.
- At the same time, place orange juice, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in orange zest.

Steps:
- To make the crepes: Whisk the flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl. In a measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg and 1 tablespoon of butter. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
- In a heavy small saute pan or crepe pan, lightly brush the pan with a layer of melted butter and heat over medium-high heat. Working quickly, pour in about 3 tablespoons of batter and tilt the pan to coat. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes and then flip with a thin metal spatula to finish cooking the other side, another minute. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep the crepes warm while preparing the rest of the dessert.
- To make the Blueberry Filling: Heat the jam in a small pan over low heat or microwave until warm and syrupy. Whisk in the lemon juice and set aside.
- To make the Custard Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt together until well blended. Whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until almost boiling, then remove from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla until well blended. Add a couple of tablespoons of the hot milk from the saucepan and whisk to temper the egg. Add resulting egg mixture to the rest of the warm milk in the pan, whisking to combine. Cook over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken (do not boil). Let the sauce cool slightly while assembling the crepes.
- To assemble: Spread some of the blueberry filling in a line down the center of each crepe and roll up. Spoon a few tablespoons of the custard sauce on each dessert plate and lay 2 crepes on top. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve.
BLUEBERRY COMPOTE FOR CREPES
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar and water. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Many berries will begin to burst and syrup should thicken. Add remaining cup of berries and allow them to heat through.
- Spoon warm compote into crepes. Drizzle with maple syrup and dollop with sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with additional blueberries.

Tips:
- Always use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to thaw them completely before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the crepes tough. - Use a non-stick pan or griddle for cooking the crepes. This will prevent them from sticking. - Cook the crepes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crepes will burn. - Flip the crepes when the edges start to curl up. - Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite toppings.Conclusion:
Fresh blueberry crepes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or dessert. They're perfect for any occasion and can be customized with a variety of toppings. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these crepes a try!
