Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate, which helps create tender crepes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, tilting it to evenly coat the surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This light and fluffy cream will be the perfect counterpart to the sweet strawberry filling.
- Assemble the Crepes: Lay each crepe flat, spread a generous spoonful of whipped cream, and top with sliced fresh strawberries. Roll or fold the crepes and add extra strawberries or cream on top if desired.
Notes
- Rest the batter for at least 15 minutes to make the crepes more tender and easier to spread thin.
- Use a non-stick pan to ensure delicate crepes cook evenly without sticking or tearing.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent burning while cooking crepes through perfectly.
- Chill your bowl and whisk when whipping cream to help it whip faster and hold its shape better.
- Use ripe fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
