  4. To plate: Slice duck, place on platter top with sauce and finish with a crepe on the side.
  5. Combine all ingredients except the butter. Whisk until blended, the consistency should that of heavy cream. Meanwhile, have a small non-stick omelet pan on medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add 3 ounces of the mixture and swirl around and cook for 1 minute per side. Repeat if more cakes are wanted.
