Instructions

1 In a blender, place all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Set aside for 1
hour.
2 Slowly heat the crêpe pan, griddle or medium frying pan over medium heat and
brush lightly with the reserved melted butter. Pour 4-5 tbsp. of batter (approx.
¼ cup) onto the pan. Pick up the pan, tilt and swirl very quickly to spread
batter evenly over the base of the pan.
3 Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges turn golden, the top is dry, and the
bottom of the crepe looks light brown. Flip crepe with a spatula and cook on the
other side for 30 seconds or until it has begun to colour. Slide the crepe on to
a warm plate. Lightly grease the pan before cooking the next crêpe. Continue
making the rest of the crepes ensuring you grease the pan lightly before cooking
every crêpe. Place a baking paper in between each crepe and stack them on a heat
resistant plate.
4 Drain cherries and pour the syrup into a small saucepan. Combine cornflour with
water until smooth and add to the syrup. Add the caster sugar. Heat the saucepan
on low heat and stir till the sauce thickens (approximately 3 to 5 minutes).
5 Stir in cherry juice/fruit juice and lemon juice. Remove pan from heat. Add
cherries and combine gently.
6 Serve hot or chilled sauce on top and sides of hot crepes. You may serve some
sour cream on the side.
