Ingredients

The crepes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup 2% milk

3 tbsp packed, dark brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp ground allspice

dash sea salt

3 tbsp butter, melted

2 large eggs

1/2 cup club soda

----------------------------------------------

the cinnamon/orange maple syrup:

2 cups pure maple syrup

3 strips orange peel

2 cinnamon sticks

----------------------------------------------

the maple cream:

1 cup Mascarpone cheese at nearly room temperature

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/3 cup cinnamon/orange maple syrup

ground cinnamon for garnish

Directions

For crepes:

whisk all ingredients except the club soda

whisk until smooth and evenly blended

stir in the club soda

lightly grease and heat an eight inch crepe pan or other nonstick pan over medium heat

[ you may need to adjust the heat after the first few crepes]

spoon about 2 tbsp crepe mixture into the pan, and swirl to completely coat the surface of the pan

cook for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the crepe loses its shine

flip over with a spatula, or be daring and toss it in the air to turn!

cook about 30 seconds more

slide the crepe onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and continue repeating this cooking process until all the batter is gone

NOTE:

if preparing in advance, do not store the crepes in the refrigerator. Either leave them at room temperature, or quickly freeze. Refrigerating will only dry them out.

----------------------------------------------

the cinnamon/orange maple syrup:

heat the maple syrup over low heat with orange peel and cinnamon sticks

cook for about 10 minutes

remove from heat and cool

chill with orange peel and cinnamon

the flavors will continue to infuse until ready to use

----------------------------------------------

the maple cream:

beat Mascarpone cheese on low speed to soften

pour in the whipping cream, beating faster

whip until a medium peak forms
