Ingredients

Preparation

4 pears, peeled, cored and cubed
1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
1 1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup milk, warmed
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Cook the pears in maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until the syrup is almost completely reduced. Set aside.
Combine the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the almonds, in a blender and mix well. Gently stir in the pears. Pour the batter into a bowl and add the sliced almonds.
Preheat a 20-cm (8-in) non-stick crepe or cast iron pan over medium heat. Butter the pan and pour in 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the mixture. Tilt the pan to coat evenly. Cook the crepe for about a minute, then flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds.
Remove the crepe, set aside in a warm place and clean the pan. Repeat in order to obtain a total of 10 crepes.
Serve hot with your favourite selection of cheeses.
