Prepar
e the crêpes. Place an 8-inch skillet over medium heat
and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the
butter. Once melted, wipe the butter ar
ound the pan with a
paper towel. Add a scant 3 tablespoons of batter to the
preheated pan. W
orking very quickly, move the batter ar
ound
so it
just
coats the bottom. You want the pan to be coated thinly
and evenly. After about 1 minute, when the cr
êpe is set and
lightly browned, flip the cr
êpe with a heatproof spatula and
cook for an additional minute on the second side. Reserve on a
plate. Continue with the remaining batter
, stacking the crêpes
as you go. When all of the crêpes ar
e prepar
ed, cover plate with
foil – to keep crepes war
m, place plate over a skillet containing
some water over medium-low heat.
T o serve cr
êpes: spread 1½ tablespoons of mascarpone cr
eam
and about 1 tablespoon of the puréed berries on each cr
êpe
and fold into thirds. Place thr
ee crêpes on each plate and dust
with confectioner’ s sugar and r
eserved berry purée.
