These irresistible homemade crêpes (or thin pancakes) get bright, sweet flavor from fresh lemon zest mixed into the batter, and a delicious compote—made with blueberries, fig spread, maple syrup, and lemon juice—spooned on top.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lemon to get 2 teaspoons. Halve the lemon crosswise; squeeze the juice into a small pot, straining out the seeds. In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest and sugar. Using your fingers, massage the lemon zest into the sugar to release the oils. Add the flour, eggs, cream, and 1/2 cup of water. Whisk vigorously until smooth. (If the batter seems too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time to achieve the right consistency; just thin enough to swirl around in the pan.)
To the pot of lemon juice, add the blueberries, maple syrup, and fig spread; stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have broken down and the mixture is thickened. Turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1/4 of the butter on medium-high until melted. Add 1/4 of the crêpe batter (about 1/3 cup). Immediately swirl the pan in a circular motion to create a thin, round, even layer. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side (flipping carefully as to not tear the crêpe), or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat 3 more times with the remaining butter and batter. Serve the crêpes topped with the blueberry compote. Enjoy!
