These raspberry crepes are so lusciously delicious that they deserve to be called 'absolutely heavenly'! The wonderfully sweet-tart raspberry flavor is an amazing contrast to the cream filling for these easy-to-make crepes!

Instructions
In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup bread flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, the first ⅓ cup portion of the ⅔ cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoon almond extract. Whisk the batter ingredients together until smooth (it will be sticky and thick, like pancake batter).
Add the remaining ⅓ cup portion of the buttermilk, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then whisk until combined and the batter is smooth, silky, and fairly thin. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking your crepes.
Heat an 8-inch frying pan or crepe pan to medium heat and ladle the crepe batter out in ¼ cup portions, making a circle in the center of the pan. Rotate the pan to spread the batter around the edges and cook the crepe quickly and evenly.
Allow your crepes to cook for about one minute per side, then use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges of the crepe and flip to the other side (once the first side is cooked, test the edges to see if the crepe 'feels' like it is ready to flip). Remove from the pan once both sides are cooked, and repeat until all of your crepes are made.
Follow the instructions for 2 cups stabilized whipped cream (if you may be refrigerating any unused portions); otherwise, omit the gelatine for fresh homemade whipped cream.
Combine the stabilized whipped cream with the fresh mashed 2 cups raspberries and stir them in gently until evenly spread throughout the whipped cream. Pipe or spoon the raspberry cream into the crepes and top with the remaining whole raspberries (plus optional sifted confectioners sugar, if desired).
