Prepare the crêpes. Place an 8-inch skillet over medium heat
and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the
butter. Once melted, wipe the butter around the pan with a
paper towel. Add a scant 3 tablespoons of batter to the
preheated pan. Working very quickly, move the batter around

lightly browned, flip the crêpe with a heatproof spatula and
cook for an additional minute on the second side. Reserve on a
plate. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes
as you go. When all of the crêpes are prepared, cover plate with
foil – to keep crêpes warm, place plate over a skillet containing
some water over medium-low heat.
To serve crêpes: spread 1½ tablespoons of mascarpone cream
and about 1 tablespoon of the puréed berries on each crêpe
and fold into thirds. Place three crêpes on each plate and dust
with confectioner's sugar and reserved berry purée.
