Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup flour, 1.5 cups milk, 2 eggs, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a 9 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup batter, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds until lightly spotted. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes with parchment between them.

  4. Step 4

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 0.5 cup almond butter, 0.25 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp butter. Stir until smooth and warm, about 3 minutes. If too thick, whisk in a splash of milk.

  5. Step 5

    Fold each crepe into quarters and place on serving plates. Spoon the warm almond sauce generously over the top.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with 0.25 cup sliced almonds. Serve immediately, while warm.
