Preparation:

  1. CrepesPlace the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Combine the mixtures until you have a smooth, lump-free dough.

    Fry the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry the other side for half as long, about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Keep the pancakes warm while you make the sauce.
  3. To make blueberry sauceHeat the blueberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Stir in the lemon juice; set aside.
  4. Make custardIn a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the milk and bring to a near boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then add a couple of tablespoons of hot milk to warm the yolk.

    Now stir the yolk into the hot milk to make a simmer. Place the saucepan over low heat and simmer until thickened.
