This recipe is with butter replaced by California Olive Oil. It makes the crepes taste fruitier and lighter, less buttery. I also replaced the dairy milk with coconut cream milk. I use local whole wheat bleached all purpose flour. And use California Brandy to flambee the dish when serving. I made a vegetarian version and a vegan version, one with fresh farm eggs and another version with egg white substitute called aquafaba, the whipped juice from beans.

Rest, covered, 30 minutes, then sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt on top. Makes 2 cups of batter.
Melt 1/2 cup palm sugar in cast iron sauce pan with Tbs olive oil, 2 Tbs of rose water, juice from one orange and zested orange peel, thicken till syrupy, set aside, keep warm.
Heat skillet at medium heat (#5 out of 10), add 8 drops of olive oil, swish to coat bottom, pour 1/4 cup of batter in center, till batter covers the bottom of the skillet, flip over when edges curl, stack on 10” dinner plate in warm oven. Make eight crepes this way. I have an olive oil mister bottle (amazon) that sprays the oil superthin if counting drops doesnt work.
Heat sauce, add 4 Tbs of orange flavored brandy or Grand Marnier, spread 2 tsp of orange sauce on top of crepe, fold in four. Spread Tbs of sauce on quartered crepe. Lay 4 on heated plate. Now, light, serve flambeed. Enjoy.
