• 1 cup of chopped pecans
• 1 cup of raisins
• 1 cup of confectioner's sugar
• 1-2 tbsp of milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. In a medium bowl, mix together butter, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. 

Step 1:

• Lay first crepe flat on work surface.
• Spread with 2-3 tbsp of cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of nuts and 1 tbsp of raisins. 
  

Step 2:

Fold in half and then again in quarters. Lay crepe on the baking sheet.

Repeat with remaining crepes.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crepes are warmed and slightly crispy. 

Meanwhile, make glaze by combining milk and confectioner's sugar until smooth. After you remove crepes from oven, drizzle with 1 tbsp of glaze while still warm. Serve immediately.
