Method

1. 1

   Combine sugar and water in a saucepan, simmer for 10 minutes once boiling, stir in the lemon juice, and set aside to cool to warm.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, milk, egg, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and lump-free.

3. 3

   Heat a non-stick pan with a tiny touch of butter, pour half a ladle of batter, and cook very thin crepes on both sides until done.

4. 4

   Layer half of the cooked crepes into a serving dish, lightly brushing each layer with melted butter.

5. 5

   Evenly spread all the crushed walnuts over the middle layer, then cover with the remaining crepes.

6. 6

   Cut the layered dessert into squares or diamonds, pour hot melted clarified butter over top, followed by the warm syrup.

7. 7

   Let the syrup absorb for 10 minutes and serve warm.

Note. Ensure the batter is thin and runny so that the resulting crepes remain tender and easily soak up the syrup.
