"Cajeta" is a thick caramel sauce traditionally prepared in Mexican homes. It's reminiscent of boiled condensed milk. The sauce pairs perfectly with a variety of baked goods, including thin, spiced crepes. The finished dish, dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with scarlet raspberries, is eye-catching in its color and equally vibrant in flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- To prepare the cajeta sauce Place the sealed can of condensed milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and completely cover with water. Simmer over very low heat for 3 hours, barely noticeably. Add water as needed as it evaporates. Using an oven mitt, turn the can upside down and simmer for another 2.5 hours. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight.
- In a blender, combine milk, eggs, sugar, flour, butter, salt, vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon and blend until smooth. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Heat a small nonstick frying pan. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of pancake batter. Swirl the pan to distribute it evenly. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then flip. Slide the finished pancake onto a plate, and repeat with the remaining pancakes, forming a stack on the plate.
- Before serving: Open a can of boiled condensed milk and stir it from the bottom up with a fork until it reaches a smooth, thick consistency. Spread about 1 tablespoon of "kajeta" evenly over the surface of the crepe. Sprinkle with a little toasted pecans and roll into a tube. Repeat with the remaining crepes. A few minutes before serving, reheat them in the oven at the lowest temperature. For a serving of 4 crepes, lightly dust with powdered sugar and garnish with raspberries.
Note
To toast the pecans, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread the nuts on a baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
