Cook the crepe until the color changes slightly, then flip to cook the other side.

Repeat the process to make a total of four crepes.

6

While the crepes are cooking, prepare the sherbet by combining 200 g of sugar and 100 ml of water in a saucepan over medium heat.

7

Stir until the sugar melts, then add a knob of butter and a few drops of lemon juice.

8

Collect any foam that forms on top for aesthetic purposes.

Once the crepes are ready, stack two of them and fill with nuts (pistachios) and clotted cream or whipped cream.
