- 13 cup plus 1 tablespoon/55 grams unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
- 13 cup plus 1 tablespoon/55 grams whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour, sifted
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for the pan
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest (from about 1/2 lime)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- 1 6-ounce box raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon creme de cassis liqueur
- 1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters plain Greek yogurt (2 percent fat)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mild honey, such as clover or acacia (more to taste)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lime zest (from about 1/2 lime)
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
- 1 6-ounce box raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- To make crepe batter, place milk, eggs, salt and sugar in blender.
- Turn on and, with the motor running, add flours, then melted butter and blend at high speed for 1 minute, until well mixed and smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl, stir in lime zest, cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- If resting batter longer, refrigerate.
- (Whisk again before making crepes.)
- While batter is resting, make raspberry sauce.
- Combine 1/3 cup water and sugar in small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in rose water, raspberries and cassis liqueur.
- Return to heat, bring to a simmer, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a bowl.
- Press the raspberry pulp through strainer with a spatula and discard seeds.
- Whisk or stir to blend pulp and syrup and set aside.
- Make the yogurt filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, lime zest and juice.
- Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Set aside.
- To make crepes, heat 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with butter.
- Pan must be hot when you add crepe batter.
- Lift pan off heat and pour or ladle in a scant 1/4 cup batter, enough to thinly coat bottom of pan.
- Tilt and swirl pan to distribute batter in an even layer.
- Return pan to heat and cook crepe for about 1 minute, until edges color and bottom of crepe is lightly browned.
- Crepe should not stick to pan.
- Flip crepe over and cook for 30 seconds on the other side, until speckled.
- Turn out onto a plate.
- Continue with remaining batter, brushing pan occasionally with butter if desired.
- If you want to serve crepes at their hottest, assemble them as they come out of the pan.
- Spread a rounded tablespoon of the yogurt mixture over each crepe, drizzle on 1/2 teaspoon raspberry sauce, fold crepe in half and then in half again.
- Place on plate or platter.
- When all crepes are made and filled, spoon or pour sauce over, garnish with raspberries, and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve.
