• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Flip over when the batter is set and the edges are beginning to brown. Cook until the other side begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.

• To flambe, return skillet to medium-high heat. If using a gas burner, carefully tilt pan away from you to ignite; if using an electric burner, use a lit long match held just above the sauce. When flame subsides (5 to 10 seconds), spoon strawberries over crepes. Return skillet to medium-high heat and reduce sauce until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes; pour over crepes. Whisk heavy cream until thickened slightly. Drizzle over crepes; serve.

FLAMBEED CREPES WITH MASCARPONE AND CHERRIES

Steps:

• For the filling: In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone, chocolate chips, sugar, and pinch of cinnamon. Set aside. If making more than 2 hours ahead, reserve in the refrigerator but let come to room temperature before serving.
• For the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and a splash of water. Cook until the cherries have let off their juices and the flavor has concentrated, 10 to 12 minutes. When done, the cherries should be very sweet and the juice should be syrupy. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• To assemble: Schmear some of the mascarpone/chocolate mixture, about 1/4-inch thick, onto the lower half of a crepe. Fold the top half over the bottom to create a perfect half circle and press to secure. Fold the crepe in half again, to create a loose triangle. Repeat this process with remaining 7 crepes.
• Heat the pan with the cherry sauce over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Be careful not to burn the sauce. Pour the kirsch into a measuring cup with a spout and carefully pour into the cherry sauce. Turn off the heat and carefully light the sauce using a long lighter. Allow the flames to burn off.
• To serve, arrange 2 crepe triangles on each serving plate and spoon the warm flambeed cherries over the top.
• Sa- weeeeeet!
• Batter:
• In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk, club soda and 3 tablespoons of melted butter into the center of the well and whisk together until just combined. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, whisk in a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Crepes:
• Melt about a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick saute pan. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan, if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
• Put the pan over medium heat. Fill a 2-ounce ladle, almost to the top, with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan, as you ladle the batter, to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice, even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
• When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares. Repeat this process, until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter to the pan, as needed. Yield: 18 crepes

FUZZY NAVEL FLAMBE CREPES

Steps:

• To make the peaches: Place peaches in a medium bowl. Pour boiling water over peaches and let stand for 30 seconds. Remove the peaches from the hot water and plunge them into a bowl filled with cold water and ice. When the peaches are cool enough to handle peel the skins using a pairing knife. Cut each peach into eighths. In a medium bowl, combine the peach slices, peach schnapps, sugar and orange zest. Set aside.
• To make the flambe: In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the clarified butter. Briefly saute one crepe at a time, just long enough to heat through. Fold each crepe into quarters and place on a warm serving plate. Add one third of the peaches and saute for 30 seconds. Carefully add 2 tablespoons of the orange liqueur. At full arm's length, slightly tip the back side of the saute pan towards the gas flame to ignite the liqueur. Let the flame extinguish. Ladle peaches over the crepes. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Combine the pastry flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of milk. Whisk until all the lumps are removed and a paste is formed. Add the butter and whisk until well incorporated. Slowly whisk in the 2 cups of milk and the eggs. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 1/2 hour in the refrigerator.
• Heat the crepe pan over very low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thin the batter with the remaining milk as needed. Ladle 2 ounces into the dry pan and quickly swirl the batter around until the bottom of the pan is evenly coated (see Cook's Note**). Turn the crepe when the top looks firm, after about 1 minute. Cook for 15 to 30 seconds on the other side. Layer crepes between pieces of wax paper to prevent sticking (see Cook's Note***). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
