1 pack raspberries

1 tsp / 5ml lemon juice

2. Meanwhile prepare filling: In a small saucepan, add a small amount of cold water to cornstarch. Mix with sugar in saucepan. Add blueberries and lemon juice. Set heat to Low-Medium and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Simmer for 1 minute and set aside to cool.

3. Spray a small non-stick skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat pour 1/3 (80 ml) crepe batter into the centre and tilt pan immediately to spread batter into a thin layer. When the edges are just turning brown and the surface of the crepe seems done (about 20-30 seconds), lift one edge of the and gently peel off and flip. Cook for another 1 minute or till desired browning.

4. To serve, place crepe on the plate and fill lightly with the blueberry filling. Fold/roll up as desired and top with raspberries/blueberries.
