Yield: 4 servings

Crepes:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons milk
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon sugar
Butter

Creme anglaise or custard:
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
4 egg yolks

4 cups sliced fruit
Maple syrup

Crepes:
Combine eggs, milk, and sugar. Add the flour and whisk well. Refrigerate for one hour. Rub a skillet with butter. Add enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan. Swirl pan to coat evenly. Turn crepe and cook until lightly golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Custard:
Put the milk, cream, and vanilla bean into the saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Add the sugar to the yolks and whip well. Pour the hot milk onto the beaten yolks and cook until the mixture reaches 185 degrees F. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate the custard until ready to serve.

Spread cut fresh fruit over each crepe and sprinkle with maple syrup. Fold the crepe. Cover the plate with some custard and put one or two pancakes on it. Garnish with fresh fruit.
