Reduce heat to medium low and stir in one quarter teaspoon cinnamon and one quarter teaspoon white pepper. Cook and reduce over medium low for thirty minutes stirring every five minutes.  Mince one tablespoon cilantro and one tablespoon sorrel. Stir herbs into saute pan, remove from heat and let chutney cool for five minutes. In a glass mixing bowl, stir in one cup pancake mix and two egg whites. Add reserved minced lemon zest, lemon juice, one half cup warm water and stir well (add additional tablespoons of warm water as needed for crepe batter consistency). Mince one tablespoon green onion, cilantro and one tablespoon sorrel. Stir in herbs and one quarter teaspoon vanilla into crepe batter. Heat metal crepe pan with one teaspoon lemon infused olive oil over medium heat. Add three-four tablespoons of batter and rotate batter in pan to fill the bottom of the crepe pan quickly.
