Makes 6 servings
Approximate preparation time: 30 minutes, plus resting the
batter from 2 hours to overnight
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl
of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. With the machine running,
add the eggs to the work bowl. Stir together the flour, salt and
sugar; add to the work bowl and pulse until just combined.
With the machine running, add the milk, vanilla and butter
together and process until homogenous. Transfer mixture to a
container, cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours or
overnight.
Insert the small metal chopping blade into the small work bowl
and add the berries, orange zest and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Process until completely puréed. Strain the purée through a
fine mesh strainer and discard the seeds. Remove work bowl
and reserve.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the medium work
bowl and add the mascarpone cream ingredients; process until
all are well incorporated, about 15 seconds. Remove work bowl
and reserve.
Prepare 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 around the pan with a
paper towel. Add a scant 3 tablespoons of batter to the
preheated pan. Working very quickly, move the batter around
so it
just
coats the bottom. The pan should be coated thinly
and evenly. After about 1 minute, when the crêpe is set and
lightly browned, flip the crêpe, using 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 are prepared, cover plate
with foil – to keep crêpes warm, place plate over the skillet
containing some water over medium-low heat.
To serve crêpes: spread 1½ tablespoons of mascarpone cream
and about 1 tablespoon of the puréed berries on each crêpe
and fold into thirds. Place three crêpes on each plate and dust
with confectioners’ sugar and reserved berry purée.

Crépe-making takes some practice, but once you get
the technique down it is all worth it.
