Steps:
- Make batter:
- Blend crêpe ingredients in a blender. Chill batter while preparing pineapple.
- Prepare pineapple:
- Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté pineapple until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer pineapple to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add ginger to skillet and sauté, stirring, 30 seconds. Add honey and juice and simmer until mixture is syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Make crêpes:
- While honey mixture is reducing, brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in 1/4 cup batter, immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a thin, even layer. Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45 seconds. Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered. Make more crêpes in same manner.
- Add pineapple to honey mixture and simmer, stirring, until heated through. Spoon about cup pineapple mixture over half of 1 crêpe, then fold in half. Repeat with remaining crêpes. Pour remaining pineapple mixture over folded crêpes.

Steps:
- For the batter: Combine flour, melted butter, sugar, eggs and salt in a food processor or blender. Add enough milk to make a fluid batter. The batter may be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours.
- For the topping: Line large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Slice pineapple quarters crosswise, 1/8-inch thick. In a 7-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, melt 1/4 teaspoon of butter, spreading with a spatula. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- With pan off heat, ladle in about 3 tablespoons of batter and roll around pan until bottom is evenly coated. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of macadamia nuts.
- Return pan to medium heat. Just as crepe sets, but while it is still wet on top, remove pan from heat and arrange pineapple slices on an overlapping circular pattern, completely covering the surface of the crepe. Use a skewer or fork to arrange any of the pineapple slices that fall out of place. Shake crepe slightly to keep it from sticking to pan.
- Return pan to heat, sprinkle pineapple with 2 teaspoons of sugar and about 1/4 tablespoon of cold butter, cut into bits. Use a rubber spatula to loosen edge of crepe and check underside. When bottom is golden brown, loosen crepe by running a rubber spatula around edges and carefully flip crepe over in pan. Continue cooking until sugar underneath begins to turn a light caramel color.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cream around edges of crepe, and tilt pan so that cream blends with sugar and runs under edges of crepe.
- Spray a flat metal surface like the bottom of a cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place sprayed side over crepe, and invert skillet to remove crepe. Slide crepe onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat process, wiping pan clean between crepes, to make 10 to 12. Sheet of crepes may be covered and refrigerated up to 4 hours.
- To serve, reheat crepes in a 350 degree oven until hot, about 4 minutes. Transfer to serving plates. Pour rum into small pitcher or gravy boat and set aflame. Top crepes with burning rum. Garnish each plate with a miniature scoop of ice cream.
FLAMING PINEAPPLE CREPES
An absolutely spectacular dessert! Recipe found in an old cookbook called More Fun and Flavour With Spices. You can use the crepe recipe I'm including or use your own favourite recipe. The crepes can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply reheat them in a slow oven (I would wrap them in foil to prevent hardening). The cooking time does not include the 1 hour stand time for the crepe batter.
