12 Basic Crepes
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 cups Creamy Caramel Dessert Sauce or cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce)
1/2 cup , heavy cream or half and half
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Mexican canela or Ceylon variety preferred)
1 cup , chopped pecans

Steps:

1. Prepare the crepes. Prepare the sauce, if using homemade. Preheat oven to 200°. Then, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Place the crepes, 1 at a time, in the skillet, turning, to coat with the warm butter. Fold in quarters and place on a plate, overlapping, as all the crepes are warmed. Cover with foil and put in the oven to keep warm. 2. Put the cajeta and cream in the same skillet, and simmer, stirring, until heated through. To serve, put 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce on each of 6 dessert plates. Arrange 2 crepes on each plate. Drizzle remaining caramel on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and scatter the chopped pecans over the top. Serve warm.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
