Steps:
- Put the flour, eggs, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
- Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
- Set a frying pan or crêpe pan that has a base measurement of 15-16cm over a medium heat and, using kitchen paper, carefully wipe it with a little melted butter. When hot, cook each pancake for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go. You should end up with 12.
- For the filling, whisk together all the ingredients until semi whipped and still spreadable, the more you whisk it the harder it will be to spread on the pancakes. You can adjust the consistency by whisking more as you go along or loosening the mix by adding a little double cream.
- Layer the pancakes with 2-3 tbsp of the filling, spreading it evenly to the edges, alternating between filling and pancake, finishing with a layer of filling. Put in the fridge to set for 1 hr, or leave overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the drizzle to go on top. Boil together the sugar, lemon juice and 100ml water until the sugar has dissolved and you have a syrup, then set aside to cool.
- For a neater finish, trim the edges of the chilled crêpe cake with a sharp knife so you can see the layers, if you like. Drizzle over the lemon syrup and cut into slices to serve.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use a food processor: A food processor will make quick work of grinding the nuts and flour. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a mortar and pestle.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out will help it hold its shape better. You can chill the dough for up to 30 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the crêpes evenly. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a serrated knife.
- Be patient: Making mille-crêpe cake is a time-consuming process, but it's worth it in the end. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a cake that's not as good as it could be.
