Citrus and crepes =LOVE!
Mia Bella Gardens is overflowing with winter fruits this season.
The Mandarin tree is ripe for the picking.
Vibrant orange organic deliciousness!
Mandarin juice is divine,
so when I came across this recipe in a vintage cookbook for mandarin crepes,
the recipe development began...
First, the saucy syrup was prepared. That sweet citrus smell was heaven!
The crepes whipped up, folded, plated, ladled with syrup and served.
Mandarin Crepes

Whip cream ready for serving.
Make mandarin Syrup, then crepes and serve immediately.
In a small pot dissolve over a medium heat 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup of water and 3/4 cup freshly squeezed mandarin juice.
Add 1 cup of mandarin segments.
Thicken with 2 Tablespoons of cornflour mixed to paste with cold water.
(The syrup can be made thin or thick, adjust amount of cornflour to thicken to your desired consistency)
CREPES:
Sift 3/4 cup plain flour into a bowl and add 2 Tablespoons caster sugar, three beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 cup milk.
Mix well and let the mixture sit for 20 minutes. Mix again, and proceed to make crepes.
Make thin crepes in a small nonstick pan by placing 2-3 spoonfuls of batter in the pan. Cook until lightly brown and flip to cook the other side.
Place on a dinner plate - cover with foil to keep warm, until you make all the crepes.
TO SERVE:
Fold each crepe half and half again. place on a plate or in individual serving bowls. Spoon the sauce over the crepes and add extra mandarins.
Add a dollop of cream and serve.
