- Blueberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and blueberries. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened and clear, about 1 minute.

Spray crepe pan with non-stick cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add about 3 Tbs batter to pan, tilting to make an even layer.
