   To create a delightful citrus-infused crepe dish, start by making the warm citrus sauce.

   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, melted butter, 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1 egg yolk.

3. Step 3

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture continuously until it reaches a gentle boil and thickens, which should take about a minute.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s beautifully thickened, cover the sauce to keep it warm and inviting.

    Heat a greased crepe pan over medium heat.
