Preparation

Mix the flours and the sugar, then make a well in the centre and add the eggs and butter. Gradually add the milk until the mixture coats your finger. Stir in the butter. Allow the batter to rest for at least 20 minutes.

Grease a small frying pan with a little oil and heat gently. Pour in enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute. Using a spatula, turn the crêpe over and cook for 30 seconds. Slide it out onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

Drizzle the pancakes with honey, fold in half and drizzle again. Fold in half again and garnish with pine nuts and rosemary.

*Chestnut flour is quite common in Italian cooking, and you can buy it from old-fashioned Italian delicatessens and grocers. It’s not really flour – it’s ground chestnuts – so you can’t replace it with plain flour in a recipe.
