Pear, cranberry and orange crepes

Take yourself to the streets of Paris with these fruity crepes. They're such a simple, light dessert but so full of rich flavour; it's a treat you'll be making again and again.

Ingredients

3/4 cup plain flour

3/4 cup skim milk

2 eggs

1 egg white

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 kilogram tub pears in cranberry juice, drained, juice reserved

2 tablespoon caster sugar

2 oranges, coarsely grated zest

Method

1.Sift flour into large bowl; make a well in the centre.

2.In a jug, whisk together milk, eggs, egg white and oil. Gradually whisk into flour to form a smooth batter. Set aside 30 minutes.

3.Combine reserved pear juice and sugar in a saucepan. Heat on low 2-3 minutes, stirring, until sugar dissolves.

4.Bring to boil on high. Reduce heat to low; simmer, without stirring, 8-10 minutes, until reduced and syrupy. Remove from heat. Stir through pears and orange zest.

5.Spray a non-stick crepe or small frying pan with a little oil. Heat on high.

6.Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter into pan, tilting to cover base thinly. Cook 1-2 minutes. Turn crepe; cook other side 1 minute.

7.Remove from pan; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying with oil before cooking each crepe if required.

8.Fold crepes into quarters. Top with pears and syrup to serve.

Cooked crepes may be layered on top of each other.
