Yield Makes 4 to Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

For the syrup:
1 pint fresh blackberries
1/2 cup sugar
For the crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch kosher salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus a small pat of butter for the pan)

Steps:

1. Put the blackberries, sugar, and 1 ounce of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the mixture has reached a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Whisk the beaten eggs and milk together and pour them into the flour mixture.
4. Whisk in the melted butter, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
5. Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt the pat of butter, then pour in enough batter to cover the surface of the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
6. Fold the crepe in half, pour syrup over, and serve.
